The OP jus :thumbsup: :steering: :poke: t asked if he could borrow a chain.

Like the tie back in Mo. when the wife was flat towing my Duster and me with a log chain...she was gong 60 down the hill so she could get back up the hill ( doing what I asked? 70!!!?) I was scare'd!!!! :steering:

^^^Hey guys! Don't you watch RoadKill Garage where FriedBurger and DullChic where they are at a boneyard and get a car or truck that has sat there 40 years, running and pour some brake fluid in that old MC and hit the road with BRAKES!!!!! OK sometimes they find another old MC that is only 30...

My 65 Cuda I had 273 2 bbl car had 10 inch drums.

I will add my 2 cents, I have built many of these old cars over the decades, most came with manual drum brakes, I have never had any trouble don't them in manual drum or disc and any trouble stopping. Like said, the right parts work fine. There is difference in bore of MC wheel cylinders...

Yes. It involves cutting the swedged lugs to get the hub from the drum. Ya don't get beat it off.

Called a distribution block. You have an issue with the hard line or even a hose, MC, or like he said maybe that block.

Offset might be a factor?? Dunno!

I would suggest go to the search thread and hunt. There are probably 1 million threads on this topic and as many different solutions!!

I prefer manual, and never had any problems in the last 70 years. OK so make that 55. But we live in the sticks and drive around few idiots too.

Like said^^^ there is no need for booster. But I am a guy that prefers manual steering too.

^^^ Non Mopar parts? I put "replacement" new parts on my Mopars all the time, the China chit breaks after a week or month usually! All I can get too! ha... Wait. it ain't funny!

I am so old and old fashioned I still build my old Mopars with drum brakes!!! And I even have all the parts in the shed to convert them to discs!!!!! ha

If you can not use your OM SB wheels why would you want their setup, Dr.Diff or whoever!? Guess I miss the point.

The backing plate will dictate what it is as far as a kit and shoes. LIke said by other, bet it is out if a BB 65-70 B body, fit right in the A body.

I admit I did not notice about the 11 inch drums either. Yep be sure to measure, I don't believe it would have come OEM on a 71 Duster. If 11 inch in fact, you just need a hardware kit for 11 inch and right shoes. Notice not all kits contains all the pieces of the puzzle!

I just ordered all the stuff from Rock also. I always check prices between Rock, O Reilly etc. and compare. Just ordered shocks from Rock. Same part number was twice as high at O Reilly as with shipping with Rock. Not always the case.' Wonder how many billions the O Reilly family...

^^ Every car is a little different. That longline basically oe from the dist block back it will do thru the sub frame thru a small hole then go along inside of rocker, you will either see clips there that hold it one, or holes for the clips to go in there it goes back to rear wheel housing...

Not sure IF inline tube has pre bet for 7 1/4. I have also bought new rear brake lines with the block made on the line.

I really have no desire to press out the old studs they are fine I just want to get the old drum OFF! I can't see how the drum as thin as it is the hub an not just be pressed of the drum with the studs there? I bet RRR is correct in a previus thread on this, he said take a 5/8 in hole saw and...

I read somewhere in my search that RRR said you use a 5/8 inch hole saw to cut away that part of the drum around the lug. The drum is so thin ??? there, it could just be pressed of easy. Nothing is never easy!!!! It will go back as drum brake NO disc conversion for me!

62 Dodge lancer. Is the drum somehow also swedged to the lugs like the hub?? or is it all just rusted together!! I do not need to replace the lugs, just separate the two and add a new drum.

Some early A bodies seem to have had 10 in 7 1/4 rears and therefore 10 in front drums, assuming all was original oem stuff!!!!!

That info is from Mopar Action article decades ago. Not everyone agrees with their thoughts. Lots of different opinions as to spindles and geometry.

Put a list of Scarebird parts used in the glove box for the next guy, pretty easy!! Tape it in there too!

Keep ya brakes as is and do some leg, arm exercises! That's also why the old cars have BIG steering wheels!!????

Yes I have a Hell of a time flaring with my $40 set!!!!!!

Brakes lines have always been good from any of the pre bet companies for me. Not so good with trans cooler lines, intake fuel lines, Half I get are bent 180 degrees off at some point!!!

I had an original 65 cuda 273 2 bbl car, came with 10 inch

Rock???? I have to hunt and peck. If I order 3 parts, they would come from 3 different warehouses, and charge me stupid $ for shipping too. 95% of the time, I get my parts from Summit, Jegs, O reilly, NAPA, EvilBay. Never from Classic, Year One, Auto Zone, etc et etc
