Im wondering if the front drums off of a 3/4 ton with the measurements of 279-280mm are good or not,,And do they make these aftermarket or not?

The limit for the inside diameter is .060" over standard, assuming that your drums are either 11 or 12". I think they used to sell them new but I am sure they offer them anymore.

Another SeaBee! Welcome! I spent some time in the SeaBees. I was on Seabee Team 7108 in VietNam in the late 60's early 70's. I see you were a builer, I was a mechanic, CM3 when I left. I too have a 3/4 ton stovebolt, it is a 1951. Good luck finding drums because I don't think they are avaiable anymore. There are many suppliers of stovebolt parts and you can call them and ask if they know anyone who has them. Good Luck!

Now might be a good time to go to front discs, especially w/ better engines.

'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires.
'47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle.
'54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed.
'55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
