1938 one ton front brake drum

[mcflash]

Does anyone out there know where I can find a front brake drum for a 1938 Ford one ton (122" WB) truck? It is a 12" drum with a 3 1/4" center, 3/4" studs, on 7" bolt pattern and inside the drum hub mount.

It may have fit a range of years that use the same rear axle. Timken Detroit made a lot of axles for Ford trucks. South Side Obsolete might be able to help. Front axles may also have a range in years that used the same drums but I'll have to check my books. These parts are depleting since no company reproduces them. At some point, a conversion may be in order but then a person will be looking for non-widow maker wheels.

Checked the books and no luck on different models. The 122" 1-ton used the 82Y-1102 front hub & drum on the right side and the 82Y-1103 front hub & drum on the left side in the years 1938 thru 1940. The rear 82Y-1113 rear hub & drum assemblies are interchangeable for both sides but they are a one year only part for 1938.

Thanks rotorwrench. I found a guy in Indiana that rebuilds brake drums. He did a great job on the rear brakes (15”) and the front left one. I damaged the right front one during disassembly and need to find a replacement.
