I am going to redo the rear brakes on my 67 RT. Stock 11" rear drums. Basically building from the backing plate up. I will use original drums though. Does anyone know where I can buy a whole kit to do this? Thanks.

I went to Advance Autoparts and poked around. They had everything I needed to rebuild the drums on my 8-3/4 from a 66 Dart. Check out the link above, it should take you to a few hardware kits that might help.

I think I got all the parts from Autozone or Napa. I ordered up the 1970 R/T 11" drum parts because they had the self adjusters.

If you want to do mail order check Rock Auto. I remember seeing hardware "kits" as well as the wheel cylinders

11" drum brakes can be found on late model Dakota's and Durangos, maybe even some Rams, so stuff for 11" brakes isn't too hard to find. you'd be surprised what you can get at Napa, Autozone, etc.

I called Auto Zone, they have everything but the Hardware Kit. He did say he had the kit for the 10" drums. Would this work with my 11"? Thanks for the responses.

I recently bought everything to do brakes on a Dana 60 and found great prices at Rock Auto, they had some specials going for manufacturer close-outs and I think I got the shoes for like $7. Might check there, it was still cheaper with the shipping included.

NO and NO. stay away from Useless Zone; get some quality parts like Bendix Wagner or Raybestos. and NO 10" hardware WILL NOT work on 11" brakes.
and those years you gotta find out what width shoes are on there. Over the years they used 2, 2-1/2, 3 and even 3-1/2" wide shoes that was all 11" diameter. My 76 charger SE (think Cordoba) as well as most 70s/80s 1/2 ton pickups (and 1/2 and 3/4 ton vans as well) were 11" brakes. They used those same shoes (in a 2-1/2" width) on B vans til at least 96.

Raybestos 11 X 2 1/2" Shoes 335PG
WC 37053 Wheel Cylinder
H4094-2 Shoe Attachment Kit (both sides)
H2545 Right side adjuster kit
H2544 Left Side adjuster kit

This should be everything you need. NAPA will have the same parts. Advance/Autozone = Chinese
