brake drums for 70 se 318c.i.

Postby Mike l » 22 Aug 2008 14:17

Guys, are all four brake drums the same size on my 70 challenger?
I think they are 2 1/2 x 10 all around. I am getting ready to replace all
parts for brakes.

it would pay pull the wheels off & check to be sure my 70 se has 11x3 hd drums all round so it would be best to check for yourself before ordering parts

I've never heard of 11x3 rear drums on a Challenger Ian?

10 X 2.5 inches front and rear were the standard

11 X 3 front and 11 X 2.5 rear with the heavy duty and big block options.

My car had 11"x3" front and 11"x2.5" rear when I bought it.
I do not if they have been swapped by a previous owner or not though.

well you may be right dave they looked the same size as the front when i had them off so i assumed they were also 11x3 but i guess unless i put them side by side i might not notice a 1/2 inch unless i was looking for it
