drum machine-to specs...?

Can anyone tell me the machine-to specs on the front and rear brake drums on my '51 F-1? Thank you.

Take as little as possible! They aren't cheap to replace!

Wmjoe is right on the money +0.060 is the max.

Ross is right too! The 51 52 front drums have that 1/2 inch offset that only they had and they are priced accordingly. The cheapest place to get them is "Job Lot Automotive" at about $70 ea.

Here's the link:

JobLot Automotive

Good luck
