No worries, and Larry & I are cool.
Plenty of us here still have a sense of humor & can bust stones back & forth.

They were so out of round out of the box that when I tightened lug nuts and it pulled the drum in, the rear wheels would barely even turn. So much Chinese junk. I would've had to find someone to turn them which isn't easy anymore, or ship them back to rockauto at my expense. I ended up junking them and buying a NOS set. Expensive but I get 75,000 miles or more out of a brake job and the NOS ones were perfect.



And this is why it pained me to throw away two sets I had. No one was interested, so off to the scrapper they went. frowwn

My '69 Charger R/T has them. My '69 383 had 10". I got new ones from RockAuto, the finned 11x2.5, and they warped the first drive to work. Turned what was on the car, and still using them. The box said made in China, and had part numbers for 5 different companies on it, like it said Centric, Raybestos... Wonder if this was supposed to have been reboxed by whoever was reselling them. As for the 383 car, I got backing plates from a '70s Dodge van. Those diffs (are they 9-1/4"?), have the same bolt pattern as a Dana or 8-3/4. That's what I'm using now, and the new drums are fine. Guess it's hit and miss on what you get new these days.
