    Been a while since I last posted......was looking for parts then and I'm looking for parts again......lol

    We've done quite bit to the girl and she now is a daily driver, but it's time for new brakes.......

    I'm looking for both front and back brake drums....stock 4 lug, we don't have power brakes and she's gonna stay stock with shoes........
    We have the re-build kits for the cylinders and new shoes.......and the master cylinder is in good shape, but we're having trouble finding new drums.........

    Can anyone help me out here.....?

    Thanks guys.............

    Have you tried the local auto parts stores or the local ford dealer? That is where I would start.

    Just checked Autozone and they have what you need. They might not stock them but can get them in a few days.

    If the price is reasonable it would certainly be better than buying used ones only to find out they are too thin to turn again. Used ones might not be any better than the ones you have.

    Brakes

    Thanks guys.......Autozone will be the place......evidently when I spoke with one of their shops earlier the guy had no clue.........

    They carry damn near all the brake parts I need (new) at a decent price!
