Just a thought, but wouldn't you want to Powdercoat a new set so that you would get good life out of the drums? If you got an old set you might have to replace them soon and that would mean another powdercoat charge.

I just want the 5 bolt Wheel Hub...maybe I'm using the wrong term. I have a set of TT II's that I will have installed on the Circuit Rider and the Rear Wheel Hubs will be seen. Maybe I should price new ones and ship those to Kevin. I'll do some checking.

Even cheaper would be to buy them at the parts store local for Kevin if you could get him to pick them up next time he is at the parts counter- Then you'd just pay shipping to you after he gets them coated

What size drums do you need ? There are two different widths on these old trucks. I have a set of very good used ones here in the shop right now if they are the right width.

Measure your brake shoe width and get back to me.

honestly, i would try to locate some thick old drums. While I have never bought the replacement 5 lug drums, I know for a fact the 6 lug drums at the parts store suck.
