Neato! Will you guys please elaborate on the origin and amount of those in use? thoroughly vented for cooling, for us perpetually uphill/downhill-no straight part drivers. are they Ford, or a-market, when were they produced, and are there any other parts/aspects to the "Rocky Mountain" brakes?

The brake drums are standard Ford front brake drums. Ford went to this ventilated design when the cast iron drums were introduced for the Model A in late 1931. The late '31 Model A drums were 11 inches in diameter (they fit 1928-31 Model A's except, I believe, the AR's)and the '32 through '36 drums were 12 inches.
