68 delmont 88 w/455 Rear Brake Drums Needed

Looking for rear brake drums. They are 11" X 2" with a bell shape toward the backing plate. Any ideas, they seem to be hard to find? Thanks!!

Rear Drums 68 Delmont 88

I'm Not Sure Myself?
Do you have the measurements or can you send a picture. I am kinda new at this posting stuff, but otherwise an email would work with a pic attachment. Again, mine measure 11" ID at the braking area and 2" wide surface. Thanks!!!

Kanter appears to have them.

Part number 02229D. $99.00

Third item down on this page:

http://www.kanter.com///productdetai...0&Cat=6&Prc=35

If you look further on their site, their part number for a rear drum for a '66 is different, so they may not be interchangeable.

they are still on the car and i have never looked at them but going by what the front ones look like they should be nice. is the wheel bolt pattern different on the 98? i will measure that also.

'66 98 is most likely a 2 1/2" rear drum. If it turns out those don't work out for you, I've got a lot of these 11"x2" rear drums, but would have to make a trip to my storage unit to get them. Probably $25 each plus the shipping.

Kind of surprised to hear this sentiment. I've had nothing but good luck with Craftsman brand anything my entire life. From what I read, their hand tools are made in the U.S while their power tools can be assembled in the U.S. from parts made overseas. But wherever they're made, it's good quality stuff, and all tools still come with the lifetime warranty, no receipt needed.
