The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Need new Front Drums for 6100 2 Ton, any sources?

One of my front drums is too thin to turn, and the other isn't much better. Is there a source for new drums?

they are 14 x 2 1/2, 6 bolt pattern with 8.75 bolt circle.

Shame. I have the 8 bolt pattern from my 3800.

Hy donnoman, I think the o.e.m. p/n for those drums is 3754315, they appear to be used only for 56-59 that p/n superceded 3726486. I tried crossing them at the Napa site but got nothing, but maybe I'm not doing it correctly, hope that helps.

Hy donnoman, I contacted Geoff at Alretta, and he said from his perspective those parts were unobtainable, so it looks like you'll have to search all the parts houses you can think of, good luck.

Interestingly enough I was able to find a cross reference for the older part number:

3726486 64425F

But not for 3754315.

I've also made an interesting contact in Shaun Shroff at DuraBrake Co. http://durabrake.com/products.asp

DuraBrake™ makes medium and heavy-duty brake drums for the aftermarket and OEM. We have over 2,000 part numbers for trucks, trailers, buses, and various off-highway equipment types. We produce most brake drums produced by our major competitors, but we also make specialty, custom, and obsolete parts in small quantities that are difficult or too costly to buy from other organizations

Donovan,

I checked our database and I only saw one potential brake drum that this could be that was a 14x2.5”, 6 bolt pattern with a 8.75” bolt circle. It is not a drum that I can stock and would have to custom make it. I would require a minimum order of 8 pieces (which I am not sure is possible for you) and cost would be approximately $356 each FOB Sacramento, CA. Lead time would be about 12 weeks.

Do you have a part number by any chance. Regardless if this is the correct drum or not we can custom make the drum that you are looking for with a used sample and it should be the same price.

Regards,

Shaun

Would anybody else be interested in a group-buy situation to meet their minimum order? If @3B is correct the front drum is likely the same for any other 2ton Big Bolt 56-59. Email me donnoman@donovanbray.com or reply to this thread if you'd be interested.

Perhaps Alretta could be convinced to help broker a deal if there was enough interest.

@3B, where did you look up the number for the original part 3754315. Could you scan and send/post that page(s)?

It is from a 1955-60 Chevrolet Heavy Duty Truck parts catalogue:

Awesome 3B, any way I could get a copy of that catalog? What does the front look like.

Anybody have a similar catalog they would be willing to part with or loan to me so that I can have the entire thing scanned?

Donovan,

(re: OEM part number is 3754315)

I found an interchange for this drum. It is DuraBrake 13845. It is still a custom order but it would be minimum 8 pieces. Cost would be $275 each. Lead time would be 12 weeks.

My brake guy was able to machine both front drums, and they came out great, and still well within spec so I won't need to replace them anytime soon.

I did determine a compatibility list for the drums if anybody else ends up in the same predicament.

OE 3754315 = OE 3990030 = Webb 64425F = Durabrake 13845 = Gunnite 2845

donnoman, this is sure to come up later on as these trucks get older. It'd be a good idea to make this a tech tip or maybe a stickie at the top of the forum page?
I'm not the director around here but it's make good sense to me since there has been so much input to get where you are.

I think there are nice drums for sale, by this guy.
He has sold me some parts from hes 1958 2 ton.

cadman1@q.com is his mail adress
And his name is, he is really a nice guy !!

Dave Fort is his name. He had the rest of his truck in the part for sale thread a couple of weeks ago.
