AHHH!! SO EXSPENSIVE
Ok, i brought my 68 f100 360cid 2wd to Mizer muffler and brakes today. I was going to get new brake shoes on the front. But he said i needed new brake drums. When he took the brake drum off all of the drum was broken to peices. He cant put it back together so its stuck in the garage. He gave me an estimate of 150$ for each drum for the front. i called some other places and they gave me the same quote. Isnt this expensive? The total would be around 450$ Is this right?

I did the lines, too, you'll pay about 80 cents a foot for bulk steel brake line, and you'll need the fittings, too. You can do everything pedal to shoes for less than Midass is quoting you for one end. This is something you should consider doing yourself.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 29-Jan-02 AT 07:21 PM (EST)]I have the lmc mag. i really do not have the tools. I called Advance Auto and Auto Zone for there prices. Autozone is 64.99 per drum. and Advance Auto is 43.19 per drum. This is a lot better than 150$ per drum. So i guess ill bring the drums to them. Save me 200$.

Napa is always a good place to try, took my drum front end to the scrape yard and install a 74 manual disk brake front end. Did not change master cylinder or valve and been running it for a year and a half now. Thur the rain and snow and pulling boat last summer. I think I will pull the rear this summer and see how the orinal rear shoes are wearing and also this is on a 68 f100. Just something else to think about

Remember this: This dealer is going to do enough work so he can guarentee his work, and not incur some liability.
If you did what he's gonna do, you'd spend just about as much.
I had to put new drums on my 66 F-250. It made an improvment, but not like the Disk Brakes of my 73 F-250.
Maybe you can swap to Disk brakes with a Donor truck?
