Re: Best NEW rear drums?

Napa brand is United (provided it hasn't changed) NAPA owns the company that makes their brakes, which also makes Raybestos...(look up GPC "General Parts Group" owned companies on Google...
Also,... NAPA will also have a value priced drum... The expensive drum will have a 640-xxxxx part number, the cheaper priced drum will be 440-xxxxx, same number just different prefix... The 440- number will be an imported product.

note..... Can you tell I worked there for quite awhile...

Re: Best NEW rear drums?

Thanks 67 CST! That's some great info for when I shop at Napa!


Stocker, I'm not sure if the 71/72 5 luggers are the same or not. I don't know if GM went to the hole in the back of the backing plate or not.
