I recently scored a 4.57 third-member from a wrecking yard out of a 69 3/4 ton. That means it has Bendix brakes on an Eaton HO52 axle.

Does anyone know if the brake assembly from said axle will fit on an HO72 that now has Huck brakes? I'd go take some measurements but the yard it 40 miles away. My 14 inch drums are OK but not by much. There are no replacements for the Huck drums, new or used that I've been able to find. I believe that Bendix drums are available.
