So I bought an 8.75" B body housing, axles and perches for $200...

Wanted ad works great.

I like 10" the drums are much lighter than 11"
The 11” rear brakes are overkill unless you’re building a pickup truck to do hauling or towing. The extra weight and brake force are not a good match for even a car with 11” front discs. It is odd how the Dana equipped B and E body cars meant 11” drum brakes even with 11” front drums or discs.
Unrelated to the current topic but hey…I probably have A.D.D. So remember, it isn’t nice to pick on the disabled.
