I have found a big price difference from one place to another. Also remember what years work and ask fo rhe "latest" model year. Seems some want even try if their computer doesn't go back that far. A good counter man is a MUST in most cases back past about 1955. They have access to more parts than what is in the computer but that may also be when "spendy" comes in as mentioned by Red58 | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | Call Gary Tidwell at: 817-220-7278 He is an old time parts guy. One of the real ones.
Tell him "Builder" (Uncle Carl's Nephew) told you to call. If that don't ring a bell for him, tell him I drove the IRWIPI truck to South Dakota. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,842 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 2,842 | Well, I just realized I might have forgotten a very MINOR issue. If I remember correctly, when my front Oak tree crushed my '53, I bought the '50 and I believe I swapped the entire driveline including the front axle.
So, I'll need to pull the drums to see what the heck I have.
My local NAPA has the '51-'59 drums for $67 each which isn't too bad. Hopefully that is what I need.

Funny thing is that you're more likely to get a USA made drum/rotor aftermarket that you are OE these days.
