pacerman Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Contact Blaser's Nash Rambler or Blaser's AMC Parts they are in Illinois. Google it and you will find them. If they have the parts the price will be high but they do have thousands of NOS Nash and AMC Parts. Another possible source is Havekost AMC Parts in Wisconsin, I believe. Good luck.

drwhite Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 None of the Nash/AMC suppliers have these drums. They are 8 inch and apparently are not available anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacerman Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 You might need to go to later rambler 9-inch drums. The whole backing plate, shoe, drum assemblies for those are pretty common. Cars are frequently being parted out and of course the shoes and drums are pretty common. Wish I could help. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
