Re: 1973 K20 Build Thread

Nice work! I reluctantly paid somewhere around $90 a piece for my 11 5/32 drums from oreillys later to find them for $55 ea from classicindustries.com .

I myself stayed with the drums mainly because of the parking brake issues with the eldorado calipers. Next time around I'll probably swap out the rear for the 1999ish 14B with disc and integral drum parking brake, along with a D60 for the front.
