I use Rock Auto a lot, both to order and to use to get a good part number to search for the part with.

As Dsraven said, BE POSITIVE that you are looking for the parts for the correct model and that you find the line with the exact part you need.

Checking I see that they show a few options for drums for the 150 = 3/4 ton Plus not only is there a 150 there is a 150-22 Meaning you have to figure that issue out as the 150-22 seems to be the HD version. Looking at this https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...+hub,drum,1744 I am wondering if the 150-22 is a dual rear wheel rig.

You might also want to check O'Reilly's right now. they give pretty good specs on the drums they list plus it looks like if you order online and pick the parts up at the store right now you can get some pretty good discounts that bring the price down plus if you order it in with the stock order no freight charges. What I am saying here is do some comparison shopping. The what will my cost buy if I buy from the cheap place plus pay shipping compared to what will it be if I buy through or order though a local store and maybe get the current online discount You can get 20% off ordering on line with a discount that maxes out at 50.00 but that helps a bit https://www.oreillyauto.com/coupons-...#offer-details
