five lug drums for a 57

[Russell Ashley]

Anyone have any use for a set of front drums for a 57? I removed them from my truck when I changed to discs. They are 5 on 4 3/4. They look good so I hate to junk them if someone can use them. Free if you come get them, along with the backing plates, wheel bearings, and everything I removed. They're heavy so I doubt shipping would be worth it but if you are local and need/want them let me know.

In all likelihood the hubs & drums are off a 51-54 passenger car, so you might want to post on a car board. This is how we used to get 5 lug wheels on these trucks before discs became the hot setup.

The car hubs/drums are a total bolt-on. Backing plates are stock truck parts. Bearings, shoes, and most of the brake hardware are the same for car and truck.
