Okay thank you for your time everyone. I will get into this more

I don't have too much experience with breaks so this is why I have my questions I just found my rear drums off an old Dart small bolt pattern the smaller rear end however it is 10 x1 3/4 drum I think I'm going to just order the 10 x 2.5 shoes Are saying I buy new stock drums and go back to...

I found that the rear shoes are actually 2.5" wide not 2.25 The shoe actually goes right to the edge of the drum. See attached photo. I added two new photo's Keeping in mind this is an 83/4 diff and small bolt pattern I found a place that offers the shoes 10 x 2.5 however I'm concerned...

I will investigate the backing plate. Thanks for entertaining me with some knowledge.

The wear pattern is even side to side. 14" small bolt pattern This is why I suspected they are front shoes. My other dart is normal 1 3/4 width Edit I did find some 2 1/2 width on the 4.5 bolt pattern your right

Here is the photo of the rear shoes. and drum

Yes I will post up after work today thank you

Rear is 8.3/4 Both front and rear shoes are currently 10x2.25 in 10.060 drums. My question is can I use front shoes 10x2.25 on rear? Since I cannot find rear shoes in 10x2.25 only 10x1.3/4 I'm assuming was what the previous owner did

I have read through the forum looking for answers and found lots of ways 68 darts came with drums on front and rear. My dart has 10" front and rear drums. The front is using 10" x 2.25 shoes The rear is using 10" x 2.25 shoes I found lots of front 10" x 2.25 shoes however only 10" x 1.75 rear...

Had the same issue before and it turned out to be a broken wire in the TurnSignal Switch. I soldered it temporarily and ordered a new one.

Hi gang Trying to find a place I can order the 2 black rubber filler pads that hide between the rear bumper and fender on the ends. I believe they are referred to as jack pads to protect the fender paint Thanks in advance

My friend has the on his 68 dart ... look great and not disappointing at all.. Im leaning in that direction

Welcome!!

I didnt have much issue with Dougs on my 68 Dart. Had to shim the pass side mount 3/8" and get a mini starter. Other then that they are a nice header. Even used them for my break in and did not get any discolor in the finish.

I was going to go with the XE 268 but decided to go with the XE262. New 901-16 springs and stock rockers & rods.. 340 Dougs Headers Cool fall day turning the Dart around before winter storage
