Is this what you would expect to see on a '29 Ford front end?

Have moved up to the front end of my Whippet/ Ford Hybred, while I get some machine work done on the engine. Pulled the front wheels and am seeing the outside of the drums/hubs for the first time. Very strange looking ! Is this what you would expect to see on a '29 or so Ford front end ?

 

i had a 33 pickup that had those style drums on it. still have them in the garage. not sure if they were a specific year thing or more so of a certain application.

 

'35 drums. Looks like the spindles are '32-'34 and the axle is model "A" along with the spring perches and spring. All pretty typical stuff...

 

Spring perches and spindles are 32-34. Drums are either 32-34 or 35. Only visual difference I know of is 35 is machined for a seal on the inside hub bore.

Look like Rocky Mountain brakes to me - made to run cooler on steep downhill roads - had them on my '33 coupe....

 

12" dia =32-35
11" dia=31
they are cast not stamped so they give you a better break than early model a mechanicals
do not cut up those spring perches
if you need to modify them i have 20 model a's that i will give you and buy the 32-34 perches
tk

 

Chances are good it's all 32-4 stuff. I'd guess 33-34.measure the wishbone from perch center to pivot ball center.
