"B" Body 8 3/4" in a '65 Valiant

What are your plans for axles? Are you gonna run the small or large bolt pattern? If the large, you know you'll need the B body backin plates to get the right offset.

I'm planning on all "B" body from the axles out.

10" X 2 1'2" drums.

There's a set of complete brake assemblies less the drum on e-bay for $120. They look pretty good. Everything is there but the drums.

Drums are $35 ea new @ NAPA.

Also found 4.30 & 3.90 suregrip pumpkins locally.

The 3.91 would work great on 26" drag radials. The 4.30s would be about the same effective gearing on 28" rubber.

28" tires would look better, but 26" rubber (front & rear) would be more practcal as far as carrying a spare tire.
