The Ford shop manual is suggesting there are two size drums, either a 9" or 10" version.
The illustrations shown appears to match the 9" version, but I don't trust that 100% as both drawing are similar.
It's all a bit rusty after sitting for a while outside, so I'm going to replace the inner springs and cables, new shoes, and new drums, but want to be sure I order the right parts. The last time I did this on the car was about 15 years ago and probably over 100K miles back.
I plan to put the Hawk Carbotic brake pads on again from Maximum Motorsports. They work fantastic and still have some life left in them, but are a few extra $$ over standard driver brands. We all know the stock set up is weak on braking.
Since the brake lines are rusted out and just started leaking...weak pedal, so I'll need to replace them as well, any suggestion for a source?
Thanks for any help,
Rich
