OK, mid 74 Dart. Go to buy Rear drum brakes for this. Only ones listed are 2 1/2 x 10's.

NOPE they don't fit. For giggles they look at '73 they list 1.75 x 10's NOPE don't fit.

I grab the drum and look close.

11 x 2's What the heck? How did I end up with backplates for a 1/2 ton Dodge truck?

I am the third owner. Original owner was a older woman..never made any Mods. The second owner, A young kid who had no mechanical savvy and then my son just bought it. Is it possible that the factory did this? It screwed up my day.. I was hoping to be done with the brakes by 9:00 this morning. the car is still on Jackstands with hopes they can get Shoes for it tomorrow.
