Hey Roger. Hope you're still out there and willing to communicate. If so..great!
Hopefully my questions are simple and straight to the point.
1. Is your braking still in perfect working order with the 74 wagoneer drums from Orielly?
2. I have a 66 GMC with rear leafs and a dana 44. The build date was 1965. Yes, the drums are bigger than the front (depth about 3.5 inches). Sounds just like yours. If I have the center bored out to specs and the lug openings, will I need to do anything else? Your additional info on the emergency cable sounded like it has nothing to do with the drum working. That is, it was a mod you needed to make because the plate was incorrect.

Buy drums, have them machined, and put em on. Sound to good to be true.lol
