I have a line on a truck, the owner wants a pair of 1 ton rear brake drums, have seen several in the area and am wondering what years are the same and if all one tons have the same drums ie single or dual rear wheels

I know that the rear ends on 1 tons was more or less the same from like 48-73 - or at least they used the same seals and brake shoes 14x2.

I myself am trying to find a set of rear brake drums. Kind of rare. (That is good ones)

I think that you will find that the gear assembly could be interchanged between 48 and 72. The other features of the rearends did not stay the same. In 52 or 53 they switched the brakes away from the Huck brakes and I believe the drums changed too.

Finding good used drums is pretty difficult, isn't it?
