How many have restored trucks and left their front drum brakes?

No one is claiming disc will stop 1/2 the distance than drum
I said that todays cars with their brakes will stop in 40-60 feet less and if it's a performance vehicle it'll be even more..

Todays 129.00 leased special will stop on a dime and you in a drum braked truck will just run into them.. as you can not on todays roads leave enough room /cushion without a vehicle filling it..
Seems those in area with lite or no traffic, have a skews experience..
and bad info..
I will not drive my drum brake chevelle in traffic because of this..
can't leave the cushion between me and the car in front of me.. and can't stop fast enough..
I like my clean driving record and no surcharges.. your mileage may vary.
