    Hi all.
    I need some help regarding 53-56 F100 front drums. I ordered new drums from RockAuto, but they are too narrow in depth. Measured from front face of drum, they are 77 mm (3,03") deep. My old ones are 89 mm (3,5") deep.
    Do anyone have a link, part number for the correct drums?
    Regards Thomas.

    without seeing them in person and with a lack of pictures from you I will guess you do not have 53-56 F-100 brakes but have 48-52 F-1
     
  3. Check your hubs:

    The only pictures I have here at home is from the ad when I bought them

    Thomas, did you order new drums or how did it go ? I would be interested in your f100 drums if you are willing to sell.

    Saw your post. I’m restoring a 56 F100, converting to front disc brakes. I have everything for the front brake. The drums are turned and like new, hubs ar 5x5 1/2, good wheel bearings. I ordered parts to rebuild the drum set up so there’s also shoes, wheel cylinders hoses and the hardware for it the grease shield and backing plates are also in excellent shape. I’d prefer to get rid of everything as a set not part it out. Let me know if you’re interested.

    Hi. Problem was solved earlier this year. Correct drums installed and the F100 drums sold. I thought I had bought F100 setup, but it was F1.
