Dodge Dart Lite

No. 4 wheel drum brakes were used all the way through the 76 model.

On the drum/disk debate.
My old Feather Duster had 4 wheel drums.
9 or 10 I do not remember.
4 inch bolt circle.

My good friend @383Duster let me borrow his extra rims and tires to go get the car.
I, of course, assumed it was a small bolt pattern car as my Feather had been.
Well this Lite is a big bolt pattern car with front disks.
It has a broken 7 1/4 big bolt pattern rear end in it.
The broken rearend is what caused the Lite to get parked for 10-15 years.
Again, I have never seen a bbp 7 1/4 so I assumed it was a sbp car.
This is what caused me to have a 2 hour delay as we went looking for tires.
Thank goodness we found a used tire shop with 4 195 14 inch tires.
He cleaned the inside of the rims, new stems and we were in business.

SO I have owned both, all drums and disk drum versions.
