    Because it’s next to impossible to find drums
     
  4. Ford maverick.
    It’s even the correct bolt pattern.
     

  5. I used a '58 Ford car rear(9") for my '34.

    A 1973-1976 Mopar A Body {Duster-Dart} 8 1/4 rear. 4 1/2 bolt pattern and supposedly the right width. Make sure it's not the little 7 1/4.

    I've put a 8" Ford under my 33 Dodge coupe . Fit perfectly.

    My first car was a 1968 Cougar XR7, 302-2bbl and a C4 auto. It had the 8 inch rearend. I went through 6 or 7 pumpkins, So in my book I will never use an 8 inch under anything!

    I had a S10 10 bolt in my 34 Plymouth, worked great!

    Early Cherokee or early 5 bolt Dodge Dakota.
     
  11. There is a conversion to model A drums on ply33.com if you want to keep it original. You just need the puller tool to pull them off. The real trick is to know how to adjust early brakes.
    Apparently changing to the later 60’s mopar 8 3/4 gets you the drums and a better ratio for highway driving Also you can also go to rear hand brake.
    O yeah and on the mopar rear you can use the factory leaf perches. It is literally bolt in.

    My brother used a 69 Nova 12 bolt in his 34 Plymouth. Been in there since 1970.
