Re: 11 inch drums, what did they come on

I have never really been able to get my mind around how the dang things actually work. I guess the shoes kind of do a slip and slide thing, and when you put brakes on in reverse it nudges the shoes and somehow that trips the little arm, but I still can't really visualize it. In theory if you never used reverse your brakes would wear down and never readjust. I understand some Fords actuate it when the e-brake is pulled, same thing, if u never used the e-brake u would never readjust.

The cuda has 11 inch drums ( 10 7/8 actually) with 2 3/4 shoe width. Lug pattern is 4.5 inch. they are unfinned. Of course I have no idea where they came from originally, but tomorrow at the parts store I need to tell them SOMETHING , so they can look up the parts and get me the correct stuff. What cars would have used these dimension drums?? Anybody have any good web pages that details all this?

Thanks.
