GOOD DAY THE NEW 79 F350 SCS THAT I JUST GOT BROKE SOME SPRINGS ON THE D/S DRUM BRAKE AND SCREWED THE DRUM [METAL ON METAL] AND NOW THE HUNT IS ON TO FIND 2 NEW ONES I WENT TO THE LOCAL NAPA STORE AND ORDERED 2 DRUMS FOR A 1979 F350 OVER 5300 GVW REAR AXLE [DANA 70] AND RECEIVED DRUMS FOR 3X12 BRAKE SHOES WITCH IS RIGHT BUT THEY ARE NOT NEARLY DEEP ENOUGH THE DRUMS I HAVE ARE 7" FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE DRUM TO THE TOP WHERE THE WHEEL MATES AS IT SEEMS THERE IS QUITE AND OFFSET THE NEW ONES I GOT ARE ONLY 5" DO THESE TRUCKS USE A DRUM FOR DUEL WHEELS? IF SO DOES ANY ONE HAVE A NAPA PART #? THANK YOU REGURDS JOE

 

dont knpw if this helps, but to the best of my knowledge they came with dually axles and single wheels. Number dummy would be a big help here as he's been in parts forever and maybe can help with numbers

 

SO YOU MUST HAVE THE DEEP DRUMS ALSO? IS THIS THE STANDARD AXLE? DULLY WIDTH WITH SINGLE WHEELS IS THIS DUE TO THE FRAME BEING NARROWER WITH THESE TRUCKS?

 

i believe so. from what ive read,been told the scs was basically built on the cab/chassis frame which was dual, with a special made bed. any body correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure on this

 

Actually, all F-350 2wd trucks are built on a chassis-cab style frame....... with the longer wheel base, narrow rear section and DRW axle. The SCS trucks just had a wheelbase that was extended a few inches more. There is really nothing mechanical about the SCS that does not also apply to NON SCS trucks.

Basically, ALL 2wd F-350's use the same drums. So, if you got the wrong drums....it's because they are for the wrong truck entirely. Sounds like you may have gotten some drums for an 80+..... which used SRW drums.

 

Ok but why did Ford not just make dual wheels fit these trucks? An on a F250 did they come with single or dual axles an could you make these trucks duallys using a axle say from a F350 from 73-79 Ford truck?

 

There is no such thing as an F350 Super Camper Special after 1976. After 1976, there are just Camper Special's, as Ford dropped Super from the name after 1976.

Is this truck a Regular or a Super Cab? I assume it's a 2WD, since it has 12" x 3" rear brake shoes.
No, they do not...as the OP has found out. And what the heck is a DRW axle?

There is no such thing. All 1967/84 F350's w/SRW or DRW (except 4WD) use a Dana 70 rear axle.

The axle is the same SRW/DRW, the difference when DRW's are present are the wheels, hubs and studs.

Kalve: Ford did not offer an F250 with DRW until 1985.

Whoever wrote this jazz you read, didn't know scheiss from shinola.

1973/76 F350 Super Camper Special / 1973/79 Regular Cab Trailer Special / 1977/79 F350 Regular Cab Camper Special were not built on the Cab & Chassis frame.

These trucks were built on the specific to them only 140" wheelbase frame.

There was no such thing as a factory DRW pickup until 1980. All previous F350's with DRW were sold as a Cab & Chassis only. And, Ford didn't offer an F250 w/DRW until 1985.

glad to hear you got her going. Also thanks NumberDummy for for clearing up some confusing and often debated issues. learning more about my truck daily and your presence here is always helpful, thanx

 

The knowledge that oozes from bill is absolutly amazing!! Not to hijack a thread but I'm searching for the rocker moulding for my 76 scs. It can be either the kind that goes on the very bottom of the bed, or the kind that is the thin strip that follows the contour of the bottom body line (sorry i don't know the technical names). I suppose noone reproduces them and I highly doubt there are any collecting dust on someone's shelves.....but any help would be greatly appreciated bill!

 

The following fit 1973/79 F350's on the 140" wheelbase only (Edit: These are not the Race Track mouldings first offered in 1977 on XLT''s and in 1978 on Lariats).

WOW! Thanks Bill! I will be checking into those, and now I have the part numbers so people know what I'm talking about. Thanks again!

 

Bill, YOU Have Been around LONGER than I have!!!!
What is wrong with you...? He said he has a SCS, Which Mean's "Super Camper Special" if it's an SCS, it's obviously NOT a Super Cab or a 4x4. As these only came in 2WD and Regular Cab F-350, Single Rear Wheel. You even acknowledged it was a F-350 Camper Special and you still had the nerve to ask that goofy question... Ford Dropped The "Super" off of Camper Special after '76 So buyer's wouldn't believe they were getting a Super-Cab Camper Special, Which Super Cabs came out two years prior, in '74. So Super Camper Specials, Became F-350 Camper Specials.
miottimouse, Joe, I'll post your pictures of the truck for you in here.
Also, When you type in all caps, it means your yelling, and your more likely to be ignored. I know your frustrated...
