Rear brake drums

Post by JayP »

I posted a while back that I needed new rear brake drums for my 71 f250.
Apparently the drums for 2” brakes have been discontinued.
So now I am thinking change the hubs and backing plate if necessary to run 2.5” shoes.
Anybody have any thoughts.

Unless you've called them and they said otherwise?
