drilled drums??

[Hottrucks]

roughed up why are you try to fit your burb stuff on your 72??

and tahnx for the offer I may take you up on that...the big problem alot of people dont get that are down south is that anything old has been so rusted out up here that they went to the crusher years ago so when you hit the junk yards up here most of the stuff is probably less than 10 years old..which means for us even 80's truck parts are near extinct..and what do do have they think is gold

nice find onthe drums from brothers that may take a bit of lookng at..being cheap..I mean old school and having at least 4 extra drum I was thinking of doing it myself for less than $90 each

The guys used to drill drums because disc brakes were rare or non existent. With the ability to convert your front to disc for a very reasonable price there is no reason not to.

You may take pride in being "old school" or "cheap" and that's fine when it only concerns what affects yourself.

On the other hand, you are endangering yourself and others that share the road with you by contemplating a modification to your braking system that has potential to fail.

Do us all a favor and consider converting to front discs....

Info is out there,New Hampshire.Any trailer and load exceeding 3,000 pounds must have trailer brakes.Also are required to stop within 30 feet at 20 mile an hour.

with the new Cpp spindles that narrow your wheel base I will surely go that direction just need to save some pennies....I have been on a spending spree on my truck (check my build thread) and towing with it isn't high on the list...yet..I have another truck for that.....like I said before I think this was a pipe dream after looking at the pics from the Brothers link.I hardly think that trying to do it myself is OUT..the time I spend drilling could spend at work and pay for the spindles...I'm also sure that adding the booster to my drums this spring will help alot too!!

Someone may have already said this but I believe I spotted drilled drums in LMC or Brothers recently

I was going to try and use the burb parts just because I had them and the prop valve is newer.. Also the new style reservor it looks like it closes better. Other than that no reason.
I had just installed a new m/c and booster about 1 1/2 years ago and havent had any problems with the exception of the rear braes locking up and I think I've got that fixed now with help from alot of other board members. Let me know if you would like for me to keep my eyes out for a set up in the yards. If I find one that looks good I may go ahead and pull it. If anything it would be good to have for a core charge for some new parts.

^^^ what do you think they would want for that set up??
