does anyone know?

I've been pretty busy of late, and haven't been able to visit the forum much - so you may have already solved this problem. But I feel the need to respond, as I had a similar dilemma recently.

I have one of the very, very early production 65 Cudas. I know this, as my dad ordered the car in late 64, and it arrived at the dealership around October (I think) of that year. I was only 11 at the time.

Plymouth was supposed to put 10" drums on all their V8 products for the 65 models, but mine slipped through with 9" front drums (probably because it was such an early production).

Anyway, the old 9-inchers were shot, so I bought some new ones (Bendix makes 'em - and you can find 'em at several on-line places)..... but I was also uncertain as to where you make the measurement.

As it turns out, you need to pull the drum off and measure the inside diameter & depth..... But that said, the size of your drums should be 10 x 2.25 - if they're original, that is. Check out the attached link for a complete "story"

The problem is that new drums aren't gonna come with wheel studs, so you have to get them, too, and have them "installed" as well. I think the term is "spaged" or somthing similar.

If you dig into the following link a bit, you'll find some pretty good descriptions of Mopar wheel studs, and you may be able to find some that will work for your application.

Hope some of this has been helpful.
