I am in need of some assistance. I have a 61 T-bird that needs new rear drums for it. I checked all of the local auto parts (not available) then I surfed the web and about had a heart attack over the prices. I was told on another site that from 59 thru 62 the part numbers for the rear drums were the same. I just want someone to verify this info for me with a Hollander manual so that I am 100% certain of this. If it is true, I have found a source for new 60 rear drums from Bendix for $31.95 from Summit Racing (of all places). I just don't want to spend my cash for parts that "might" fit. Thanks for any help.
60 rear fits: 60 edsel, 60 ford pass, 60 T-bird. hollander interchange # 839 61-62 rear fits: Ford 61-62 all pass, Ford 63-63 pass., Merc 61-64, T-bird 61-62.. Hollander #16. Ford#C3AZ1126A Hpoe this can help.
maybe not I googled the part number and this came up: http://www.henryspartsdepot.com/wheels-and-drums/ I know you did some internet research but this may help also there is a guy on ebay that is selling off a lot of Vintage Ford parts located in Dandridge,TN for decent prices I picked up a NOS '54 Ford oil pan for $45 as an example,you may have to do some detective work to find Him.
cant you just get the width of the shoes and diameter of drum for any year ford 9 in along with the lug pattern? dont know just thinking it would work.
the last ford i did ,of that era, i used front drums. they are reinforced and heavier so the part number is different but they work.
