‘48 Rear Drums

I'm glad to pay the ticket for MT USA made products. Never had a complaint since I started selling their products.

It's called "Economy of scale". Think of how many cars out there can use the drums in the ad versus the number of old Fords needing them. If I could make and sell my 6 volt tach drivers in quantities of the thousands, I could sell them at 1/3 of what I need to get now.

I can see both sides of this price/quality issue on brake drums. Any custom type of production on a part with a limited market is going to be expensive. That is why I run F1 brakes (and cheat a little, LOL). I can run later F100/F150 drums that are American made high quality and very reasonably priced. Also easy to find replacements! But, that is just me, if you want suppliers to provide quality parts you are going to have to pay the required pricing.

What year F1 drums are you running and do you know the hub diameter

These are F100/F150 drums that will work with the F1 hub (F1 only, not the F100 hubs). I say "cheat" a little because the drum braking surface is wider than the brake shoes that are used. The F1 style drums step down, where these drums are squared off in side profile. They are 5 X 5 1/2 drums.
