I believe the drums are the same size as passenger cars from the same year.
One drum measures 12.25" ID which I believe is beyond use. The other measures 12", which I think is nearly new spec.
I had hoped to re-use the hubs and buy one new drum. It sounds like I may have to bite the bullet and buy all new.
There is a swap meet coming up in February near St Louis(Belleville IL)
Maybe I will check there before buying new.
