I'm having a little trouble locating some 11" rear drums that take the 2.5" shoe.

Any ideas as to where to look?

Thanks

Thanks, I may be in the market. I'm going to take mine in tomorrow to see how they'll clean up.

Pretty sure that these are 11 x 2 1/2". Available from many sources but Rockauto seems to be the cheapest.

That's what I would have assumed, but when I looked up drums on Rock Auto they didn't show an 11x2.5 drum. Only an 11" drum for the rear with no width.

Now that I checked the 1965 numbers vs a 1969 Coronet, they still only say 11" rear with no width but the part number is the same. I just hate to order something, especially a heavy set of drums, and have to send them back.

I guess a 383 car with 11" drums got a 2.5" shoe for the rear. I know that the fronts on this car were 11x3".

Thanks

A couple years ago I got drums at O'Reillys. The drums were the same front and rear 3" and 2.5". The drum had a deep lip to allow it to fit well over the backing plate in the rear taking up the extra .5". These are ribbed drums.

I keep pretty good records. That is the part number I have listed for the 11 x 2 1/2 drums I bought for my GTX. I am 95% sure that part number is 11 x 2 1/2.

Well dang, I didn't realize that you had a link there. Thank you.

I ordered a set from RA so we'll see what shows up.

over the many years i have played with 11" rear drum brakes, i have used the drums from trucks, vans, and C bodies interchangeably, from about '66 or so, up into the '80's.
as long as they have the 4 1/2" bolt pattern, they fit, either as a complete assembly [backing plate included], or as just a replacement drum.
as stated, they come with or without ribs.
it will be interesting to see what rock sends.
