Hi,
I'm building a Hotrod and have front 54 F-100 drums (that I was told) but I'm looking for new drum brakes but can't find any.
Please help.
I tried LMC they don't have them.
The drums dimensions are 11" X 2". They are 3 1/2" thick overall

Thank you.

 

If it is a '54 F100 the part# would be 8BTZ-1125A which is not available.
The correct measurements would be
ID= 11"
surface width = 2 1/4"
overall width = 3 3/64"

The most common replacement is Raybestos 2600R available at lots of outlets...Rockauto, Amazon, Autozone, Summit, eBay and others.

 

I'm measuring my overall thickness and I'm getting 3 1/2" ... Could they be a F1 ?? I'm not sure what they're off of anymore

 

The F1 would be 3 15/32" If it is indeed from an F1 the drum part# would be 8C-1125A Dennis Carpenter (800) 476-9653 has 2 and Obsolete Reliable Parts (229) 686-5101 has 1.

None of the major parts suppliers list anything available.

 

That looks like it !!
Thank you very much!!

 

One las question,
What year(s) would I find those brakes on? F1 19??

 

Joe: You listed the wrong part number for 1953/56 F100 front drums. How old is the parts catalog you're using? There are 113 of these puppies available NOS

OP lives in New Brunswick Canada, may not be able to use 800 numbers.

I believe the OP is saying that based on the 3-1/2" depth and the charts, he has F-1 brakes, 48-52.

 

The overall depth is wrong on the TZ ones ... The 8C 1125-A are the right ones from what I see on the charts .....
Yes we can call 800 numbers in Canada, we have the technology since last year when they installed telephones in our igloos

 

It's that old timers disease hitting me again. How I screwed up those numbers and letters is beyond me.
