3/4 ton 1971 drum brakes Availability.

[Steven R]

I have a 1971 GMC 2500 3/4ton longhorn. It has a Dana 60 rear axle I need to replace my rear Drums. The mechanic shop is telling me that they are hard to find and is going to take two weeks to get the one he could get from his suppliers. The time is not the major issue. but I need two not one.

Do you have any sources of where I can get a set of NEW ones from?

I am looking to keep this truck factory, ie I don't want to convert to disk. I have done some online searching and don't seem to be coming up with the right listings to match my truck, They seem to have up to 1970 and then 73 but not 71. I might be missing here or just typing in the wrong search words...

If I have placed the question in the wrong area pls guide me to the right place. Still learing this sites rules


thanks Steven
