I have an original 1950 3600 and my boy and I are redoing the brakes. The rear drums were shot so I found a couple of replacements at the truck shops (the ones that only sell parts for these trucks) for $150 each. Just too much to spend. Well I did a lot of research and found that the Raybestos 2009R drums meant for 1953 up looked dimensionally correct. I ordered two and THEY FIT. They don't look stock like the Huck brake drums but they fit just fine and they are only $47 each from Rockauto. 1/3 the price for the same ones from the specialty truck shops. I hope others find this useful to make fixing these old trucks more affordable.
Let me know if this is old news. To me it seems like something the suppliers have not shared.
