Gasket Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Need serviceable brake drum, prefer rear, but front is OK too. 14" ID; 16" OD overall; inner face/depth 2-1/2" These are 12 hole; 6 for lug bolts, and 6 for rivets that secure the hub. The holes are 6" apart ctr-to-ctr 'Chrysler Master Parts List' shows the same part number for both Series 65 and Series 70 drums for demountable wood wheels, disc wheels, and wire wheels--but not for wood wheels. Thanks for any leads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasket Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Thanks for the comment... That is correct; for wood wheels, not demountable, the Parts List does show different numbers and does distinguish front drum, #79172, and rear drum, #79173, and says '2 per car' for each. However, for demountable wood wheels, drum wheels, and wire wheels, Chrysler Master Parts List (15 June, 1934) shows the same part number, #43941, for Series 65 and Series 70 drums, and says '4 per car', which suggests that front and rear are the same drum. Of course front and rear hubs are different, but (I'm hoping) the rivets can be drilled out and hubs can be swapped and re-riveted as needed. As for the difference between a wood wheel and a demountable wood wheel, I have no experience with either one. I guess for a wood wheel, changing a tire entails removing the rim (demountable rim) while the wheel stays secured to the drum; whereas for a demountable wood wheel, the entire wheel is removed, as with a disc wheel and a wire wheel, so can have the same drum for these three types. I could be completely wrong; and, no doubt, I am guilty of wishful thinking, and the Master Parts List could be wrong too, but if it increases my chances of finding a serviceable drum, I hope not.
