I don't know if this is common knowledge...it may have been said in the past and I missed it...
I discovered today, that the drum for the front wheels on a 3/4 ton, a one ton and a one ton dually are all the same.
Once you remove the drum from the hub, you'll never know it came from another size truck.
Just in case you found awsome drums on a C/30 with duals and you need drums for your 3/4 ton.

if only my rear drums were so easy.

Wasn't sure if it was known...I'm sure a few ppl knew it, the ppl parding out the trucks all the time...but I thought I'd mention it for the rest of us.

Yeah, when I was repairing my 3/4 rear the parts guy kept saying he found my #'s under 1-ton stuff in his books.
Makes sense now.
