rear brake drums

[wolfpupsdad]

 does anyone know the wagner or bendix part # for the rear brake drum? and what other years fit our 57 rear axle assy.?

hollander says 57 to 59 pass car with 11x1.75 brakes.s/w and ranchero will not fit

Thats right, I had forgotten about that.  Wagons and Rancheros use bigger drums, wider I think.

YOu can use the car brakes with car backing plates, which you have.  I sent the drum to you yesterday, but if you want the wagons wider drums, youll need to find the wagon backing plates as well.

As a note, NAPA list rear brake shoes for a 57 ford but be warned they are the 2" shoes and will only fit the wagons and ranchero. I just had a round with the young counter guy at my local NAPA when he kept saying that they had to be the same because his computer said that they would fit. Anyone know of a parts store that list the 1 3/4" shoes?

1966 to 1975 Bronco use 11x1.75 rear brake shoes.

I was about to say I used 63 F100 shoes on my last one, but I may have used the wider drums, cant remember...
