1956 ford f100 front brake drums

[Brooks]

Does anyone have the depth of a stock 11x2 brake drum on a 1956 ford f100 pickup. I bought new ones at NAPA they are 3"made in China they like 5/8" going back to the backing plate. I need 3 5/8" depth I think. Laying on the floor measuring from floor to top of drum wher they bolt to hub. Thanks everyone for your help.

The drums I have measure just about 3 inches. These are NORS from Southside Obsolete. Is it possible you have the earlier F1 hubs as the offset is about a half inch more than the F100 versions.
