Conversation Between mokandshuk and Connecticut Calvin

Akuret sells a quality 7.50-20 tire too. Reasonably priced. If you absolutely need drums I think I have access to a two speed rear axle with drums here in Connecticut. Just go to the CT Craigslist and search for 1956 F500. You'll see the listing in the search results.

Nice, yeah I have no idea though what kind of drums it would currently take or where I would get them. I am supposed to go identify the rear end today. I am pretty sure it is a 2 speed rear end but I do not know what model. I was thinking these tires though:

Morning! Yes, definitely a direct replacement for your widow makers. Brake parts are easy to find except for the drums. Macs Auto parts carries the wheel cylinders. Break lines are standard .25" lines. The brake booster (if you have one) is also available through Napa. I'll take the rubber off of the tires in the next day or so. That will make transportation easier should you want the rims. You may also call or text me at 860-605-3048. ~Calvin
