Front drums - B5T1125-A
Rear drums - TEAA1126-A
NOS drums do not exist to my knowledge. Fitment is '53-'55 JH, TH, WH, T, W.
Later years may fit also.
I would give Chuck's Trucks a call 203.288.2769.

I'm with mixer man. I called Chuck on brake parts for my 52. He has nos rears but no fronts. But, that is for my model which you need 53 and up. If he has them for mine he may have what you need.

I’d also suggest reading up on the widow maker Firestone RH-5° rims that are on your truck. You will want to understand them, if you don’t already, before doing the brakes. Stu

I second Stu on the wheels. I just removed my wheels with chains wrapped around them and deflated. My wheels looked good but, as I broke them down I found otherwise. They were probably a few more rotations away from sending my truck to the junkyard!

Speaking of wheels. Thanks to Stu and Josh I received my one piece 22.5s on Monday. I'll show you what they look like now, tomorrow.

Awesome indeed. So where do one-piece COE wheels come from, or did you have them made by a custom shop?

I know great price!! I wouldnt say they are 100% prefect. But very nice. I got the wheels from Jmadsen another fte member. But, truckdog was the one who set the deal in motion. So thanks to fte I now have these rims. The rims themselves are old original 5 lug tubeless rims that are almost impossible to find. But they are out there

Yes 29! Hey Stu I have a question for you. Do the one piece wheels you have, have rivets in the center? 1 rim I have doesnt and the others do.

Yes, my two are riveted. The early wheels were riveted, then during the 1960s sometime the manufacturers switched to welded center discs. I haven’t found a reference that tells exactly why the change. Stu

Hey. The wheels look great. I had another call this week, someone needing a set.
I found out last week that a set of four that I had been keeping an eye on and trying to talk the owners out of sent the chassis and wheels to the recycle yard. Doh! Some people.....

I have not seen the 5 hole tubeless wheels, nice.
I spoke too soon on the floor mat for the 56 cab the one I mentioned doesn't have enough meat to get all the way over to the kick panels and lacks a little bit at the top right corner of the doghouse, BUT I'm checking on another.
Heres a pic of the shift lever boot I put together for this one.

the boot looks great!. Probably have to consider going that route. C600 the truck you're doing looks great all around.
