also, re that "Apache" designation, the name started in 58 as the PR moniker for light trucks [up to 1T] - in 60 it turned into a trim package, by 63 it wasn't used anymore, the "C" and "K" designations were in full swing

I rarely turn the drums or replace them, but my trucks aren't daily drivers. So grooved drums will wear my linings quicker, but what little I drive, they will still last a long time,

In the parts book there is a chart which shows the drums by part number, and the number of mounting holes, there is only one part number in the entire list which has twelve mounting holes. That GM number is 5737261 = Napa TWD2845 $200.00, hope that helps. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 92 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 92 | How can you have a 10 bolt wheel and a 12 hole drum? Also, those are the wrong wheels for that hub. You need the smaller center hole wheel,
Scott | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy 48bigtrucks@work, those wheels fit just the way they are intended to, and as far as the holes in the drum are concerned, I went by the picture Perry Dean posted of his brake drum, the drum has an extension/hub bolted to it, for the wheel to mount to, it is quite common for the number of holes in the drum, or the pattern not to match the wheel bolt pattern. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 86 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 86 | 3B thanks so very very much i have searched all over oklahoma city with no luck at all but with a lil help from a fellow bolter anything can be done i called napa here and gave them the numbers and in just a few seconds he said they had some in dallas they can have here in the AM.
