Odd Rear Brake Drum....

Help!! I have noticed that the rear drums on the differential of my car look like no other I have ever seen. The cooling fins run with the drum instead of center out.... I was going to buy the drum assemblies from Inline but they appear to be wrong. Help me please!!!!! O yeah, it is a 1969 442 W30......

Probably has the original Bell designed
drums. I don't think they are reproduced.
A lot of times you will see mismatched drums.

I don't know if you can tell or not, but the 1st
2 shots are from under my 69 442, bell drums.
The last pic are of later ones. All from A-bodys.

Yep it sounds like the bell design. Try a parts store in your area first they maybe less expensive the wrong line.

Are your drums able to be cut?
