Front Brake question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JREs69er · 10-22-2004, 03:12 AM

I have a 69 K20 with drum brakes in front and rear in dire need of repair. I have been checking out alot of the catalogs online and haven't found anyone that carries the front drums for this setup. 1 catalog even showed these to be discontinued. Is this a hard to find item or am I not looking in the right place. I see the conversion kits but don't really want to drop $700-900.

i dont really know about thr front drums as i have a 72, but when i replaced my rear drums i was able to just order them thru a local part store.

Some of the on-line stores I found do not show everything the have available, I just looked in the LMC Truck catalog and they show drums for K-20 4X4 rear, they also show front drums for the K-10 4X4, they may be the same as K-20 I don't know. Their Phone # is 1-800-562-8782. I also found drums for K-10 & K-20 at www.americanclassic.com, there are others I am sure. Hope this helps.

I bought mine at NAPA, about $100 each.

Thanks for the response fellas, American is the site that shows the 3/4 ton front drums to be discontinued. Maybe I'll give Napa a call. Thanks again
