Front brake drums?

I now have a new issues with my brakes on 75 crew cab closed knucle dana 60. The mechanic says someone put on 2 inch drums when I should have 2.5 inch. He says the only aftermarket 2.5 inch are $100+ each.

I do have a part truck 75 F-250 camper special with rear drums. Would they be the same size?

What other options are there?
Is that size drum specific to Dana 60 closed knuckle?

Measure the drums, thats probably the only way to find out if they will work.

I believe the rear drums are totally different than the front, due to the full floating design of the rear axle. At least on my 74, they don't even look close. Besides, my rear Dana 60 has a 3" drum?
