Ok. I wasn't sure since they didn't actually label it in the add whether it was F1 or F2. It was worth a shot. Sorry.

No problem, just a heads up for anyone with the larger trucks, don't wait until you hear a loud squeal in your brakes. You will need your shoes in good condition to have them relined.

Just out of curiosity, what would a decent set of front 51 52 f3 drums be worth?

Whatever you're willing to pay for them.

I suppose you have to figure the rarity of them. I'm pretty sure Job Lot lists the drums for the F-2s up to 1950 only, I don't remember what they priced them at. They used to have their current catalog on line but have removed it for some reason. I ordered their catalog from their web site yesterday.

LMC lists the front drums as the same for '48-52, which I now know is not correct, their price is $120. I am assuming the drum they have listed is actually for the '48-50 trucks. LMC also list the rear drum but only for the '48-50, also at $120.

Mac's have the front drums for the "48-EARLY 51 F2 & F3" for $108, and the '48-51 rear drum also for $108.

As far as I can tell no one has the newer drums. You could use the drums from the '53 and up like Chuck said but then you'd have to change the hubs, which is another part you'd have to look for.
