hey guys, im looking for some brake drums for my F1, iv found some but there Taiwan made and 125 each for the fronts and 50 each for the rears.
i was hoping someone here had a set they aren't goanna use, or could point me in a better direction to find some.
thanks as always..
 
One of our problems is most of our trucks have drums that are worn past +.060

The front drums are unique with that 1/2" offset from the hub to the outside of the shoe....thus the expense.

the rears are common 48-67 at least so the demand is higher.
 
I have bought them from Napa but it has been a while and they were half the cost of the repro guys and I am sure they were made in the same country.
 
I bought my front drums for my '48 F-1 from Midwest Early Ford in Springfield, Ohio. They were made in Columbia, South America. The quality was very good and I measured the I.D. and it was perfect. The back drums I got from NAPA I think. They were made in China and they looked like typical Chinese JUNK! I measured the I.D. and one was 11.005 and the other one was 11.010. I guess that's as close as the CHINK's can get it!

Raybestos brand for rears@ $26.79 each. Don't know where they are made???
 
I bought some Raybestos from Rock Auto a few months back and they were made in Canada. These were for one of my Mercury cars and they are the 53 thru 63 F-100 drums. The Mercury cars in 49 thru 51 used the same drums on the rear axle as the F-1 since both use the Dana 41/44.
