What Brakes

[jeepguy1948]

I have picked up a nice complete set of juice brakes Backing plates, shoes, drums all excellent. I need some help with what they came from. They are 40 Ford (Lockheed) style brakes but they are 12" (X 1 3/4"). The rear drums have fins like a Lincoln drum has. I am thinking that they are either off of a Lincoln or an F1. What say y'all.

F1s are 11"....NOT 12"! Coop

If the drums have a 5.5" pattern, with radial fins, they are Lincoln or '35 Ford.

I agree...probably '35 Ford drums. Coop

Notice the ridge outside the studs, and the nubs inside the studs as shown in Coop's picture. That is the '35 Ford drum. The Lincoln will be smooth in that area. Easy to tell at a glance.
