    Question on 65 rear shoes

    I'm gonna replace my rear shoes on my car they are 10" drums with the 1 1/2" shoe. Checker also lists 10" drum with 2" shoes they said that's for an 8" rear also is that correct I thought they only had those on 9" big bearing rear ends

    Try RockAuto - they list a lot more parts.  They do not show a 10x1.5, most 10's are shown as 10x1.75 for the 289 and 260 - for example - http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1367055&cc=1333381   

    The only 1.5" that they list is for a 9" diameter drum.

    Cars in later years had wider shoes. You can't just change shoe width without changing backing plates and drums.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    Ok just thought that was odd I just kinda figured that the wider shoes are what a 9" rear had and I know mines an 8"
