I know the reman. stuff is usually made to cross many applications, but the 10" front drum shouldn't be too exotic, right?
The front drums on my '70 Charger have a lemon-shaped hole in the backing plate and the old wheel cyl. is cast to fit in there nicely. These NAPA remanufactured (in USA) have more of a rectangular area on them.
I can try to rebuild the originals but they are pretty gacked up from sitting for a very long time. Would you cut the backing plate or not?

There seem to be sevral types, and you have the wrong one.
WAGNER Part # WC106315 would seem to be the right one.

Thanks for the reply. I do have two of those, but they're for the rear brakes

Had the same problem, have them check the cylinders for a 69.

That's what I had to do....why? who knows!

Ahh, Joe you're right!
Mine was built in Jan. 1970, They must have had a TON of '69 parts left on the line

Sounds like your path is clear, but anyway, let me respond to the above question

NOT!
