HELP NEEDED! Brake drum ID help please

[Deuce Hauler]

Can anyone identify the brake drum shown in the attached photos? It’s 12” diameter, 5 on 5.5” with no markings. Surely a Ford item, but I can’t determine its original application. What year(s)/model(s) is it from? I need to buy another one (or a pair) to match it. Any help very much appreciated! Thanks, Mike.

Ford 46-48 front.

Yup! I agree, it is from a '46-'48 Ford/Mercury. Ford used two different types of drum assemblies (possibly different vendors?), during those years. It seems the most common has the flange behind the drum. The somewhat less common type is what you have, the drum is behind the flange. Other than that there is no difference in shoe size or backing plate between the two.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andy - I found the pair for sale. Is there a single I missed?
