Brake rotor minimum thickness - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Been looking over the brakes on my 72 Jimmy 4x4 and need some info. I can't find the minimum thickness for the front rotors. It's supposed to be stamped on them, but I just don't see it.

If someone wants to share their tips for removing rusted on rear drums, I'd love to here them. I've got PB blaster on them now. I tried heating the drum and then cooling the hub, no luck. I'll keep spraying the PB on em and bang on 'em. Unless someone else has a sure fire way of knocking them loose.

Another thing, are the 4x4 rear drums any different than rear drums on a 67-70 2wd C-10?
