Re: 55 GMC brake drums

are you talking about this truck from your post last year? it looks more like a 1 ton with duallies. for sure get specs on that before ordering from rock auto. maybe even take the clean parts to your local parts store to see what they have for part numbers and prices, at least you can return them that way if they don't fit.

I believe the rear is this truck to be the stock 3/4 ton. It looks to me like someone just bolted a pair of duallys on it. It has leaf springs on the rear but they also added coil springs and the spring pack is 12 I thought stock was 9?

Re: 55 GMC brake drums

you could submit the vin to the gm heritage center and they will tell you what was stock on it. they are pretty quick with a response.

either way, I would pull the drums and check out everything in there to ensure you get what you need the first time. like said earlier, if you check the local parts places at least you have a sample to compare. also, if it was possibly retrofitted with duallies, insure to check the stud sizes to ensure a set of single wheels will fit over. I think the actual duallie trucks had a different hub set up with less studs. don't quote me though.
