| Answer to Shep -- yes, I have them N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ also.... early 1959 Dodge used # 47 -- 11" x 2 1/2" ; later 1959 & 1960 & 1961 all used the # 85 -- also 11" x 2 1/2" -- but early was 2 platform, later was 3 platform...
I have all of them N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ (The Chrysler Products center plane brake systems -- Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler, and Desoto ---- MUST use N.O.S. ++ Asbestos ++ You don't want to "RIP UP" EXPENSIVE HUB & DRUMS with this new crap!!!!!!)
and all of them -- with NO CORE DEPOSITS -- so you are not going to lose money having to ship the old ones back to me!!!! Sweeeeeeeeeeet......
Shep and moosed3d ---- call me anytime --- 516 - 485 - 1935 ... New York.... if I am running around, at the library on the computer --- machine is always on ... leave a message -- I will call you back -- Count on it!!!!!!!!!!! --- craig.... |

Location: Chestertown, NY ( near Lake George) | Craig, I lived in Bellmore for 30 years, worked for Stallupi at the West Islip auto mall also. Will pass this info on to my friend with the Coronet, he has White Post shoes and they are okay, but will need rears this year. |

| White Post is here in the United States -- so they CAN NOT be asbestos -- so they are actually a lot less than okay...........
When he rips the dickens out of the meat of the drums -- and here's the price of the drums / hubs & drums --- he "ain't gonna'" be okay!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still in West Hempstead, Long Island, New York -- and my grandfather's parts store was the renowned "Studnick Auto Parts" -- you probably have heard that name....
The ol' line was "If Studnick's doesn't have it -- nobody does!!!!!!" given to us by customers.......

Location: Chestertown, NY ( near Lake George) | He has had them in use for 5k now and no issues, maybe he is just easy on them, but he is always nervous about having a-one stuff on his car. Yup I remember the store, cool, lived on LI from 1947 til 1996! |
