I am trying to find rear brake drums for my 67 Econoline. It has 10" drums with 2 1/2" shoes. My search has been confusing and difficult. Anyone have any ideas.

 

Two possible rear drums with 10" x 2 1/2" rear brakes.

To determine which, post the AXLE code stamped on the 2nd line-far right of the Warranty Plate.

 

Thanks numberdummy, I got some numbers for you.

My axle plate reads:
WCR-S
3 00 6HC 783

I'm really appreciating this help. Let me know if I need to get further info to you.

I need the AXLE code stamped on the Warranty Plate.

The WCR-S code on the rear axle ID tag does not decode to the weight capacity of the rear axle.

 

According to my notes, WCR-S came on a 1966 or 1967 Econoline with a 9" rear axle. The gear ratio is 3.00:1, and the weight rating of the axle is 3,050 lbs. You should have a "07" as the axle code on your door tag.

brake drum = Ford# C3OZ 1126-A (Centric #123.65007)
Rock Auto has them.

 

Applications: 1963/67 E100 with 2,700 & 3,050 lbs. Rear Axle Capacities / 1963/65 Fairlane Station Wagon / 1966 Falcon Ranchero 289.

 

Also the same drum as the 1967 Shelby GT350/500.

 

Yeah,,,,, it's the 07 rear axle. Thank you guys for the help.

 

And I guess one other thing I'm seeing is that almost everything else (shoes, springs, etc) are interchangeable front to rear with this set-up as well. The wheel cylinders of course aren't, and there are threaded things which are specific righty, lefty; otherwise it seems pretty easy to (very prudently, and only temporarily, I mean these are brakes) to flip flop a few things to the rear, when doing a brake job. Mind you, my brakes are horrible, and half-*** measures would be improvements, plus I'm a bit suicidal; but until I can afford rear drums....... Any thoughts?

Yes, the shoes on the front of all of the 1961-1967 Econolines were the same. The front shoes were the same as the rear shoes only on the 9" rear axle (that you apparently have). The 7.25" rear axle used skinnier shoes.

 

Thanks again to EmilBarnabas and NumberDummy for all the help.
