Bought a 50 Merc......GM drivetrain....350 sbc, 700c4 trans, 8.5 10 bolt rear. However I need parts for the brakes. Not sure what year the rear is??? And what vehicle it's from??? Numbers are: Axle= 2FB 0 286 Lower housing No.= 555771 Top housing No.= 276 Misc marking= CFD Wheel cylinder= 15/16 2940 Brake drum= 3853714 DRUM size DIAMETER= 9 1/2 inches Please if anyone has any info I would appreciate it thanks, Wes
what size are the brakes? diameter of the inside of the drum, and width of the shoes. Most are 11 x 2 or 9.5 x 2 What is the wheel bolt pattern? Also if you take a picture or two, we like that.
Looks like the rear in that henry j I just bought, I don't know what it is either but measuring in at 48 inches backing plate to backing plate I'd say mine is an S-10.
so its a 7.5 gm 10 bolt rear with 2.56:1 gears......do you know what year it is? I need shoes, brake cylinder, springs, etc.
2.56 gears were common in the late 70s-early 80s before overdrive came along. But not in pickups, just in cars. Interesting. And you have 15/16" wheel cylinders that bolt in. I dont know, best bet is to head to the parts store with your parts, and look up various cars/trucks that it might be, and see if they match.
