Yes, no c-clips on this rear…Ford large bearing ends…I found a set of chevy drums from a 1975 chevelle…they fit, but they are not wide enough. Brakes are 11 x 2 1/4 and these drums are 11 x 2. About 3/16" of brake shoe is left uncovered. AND ALL THE VIBRATION IS GONE WITH THESE. Fucking Moser trying to tell me that it was something else!!

What I would like to do is find a disc brake setup from a chevy that I can mod to fit these ends…maybe from a 4th gen?
