Rear Brake Drums for a 71 K20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm having a hard time finding drums, The only place I can find them listed is LMC at $ 169.95 ea. Does anybody know of another application that uses
the same drums, 12" x 3", 14 bolt corporate axle. Or should I look at adapting to disc brake now? I'm replacing everything now anyway.

Nevermind, I found the answer to my question soon after posting. The axle is a Eaton HO52, and It will be a lot cheaper to convert it over to disc now.

I just need to decide what I want do about an emergency brake now, The Eldorado calipers are a little pricey. Anybody ever try using a driveshaft brake off of a bigger truck ( Do C-60's or above use them ) ?
