Hey all! My 57 Belvedere has a severely warped rear brake drum, I would like to change it but I cannot find a reasonable source for another drum. Moparmall has them but their pricing is quite high, Kanter lists them as well at a reasonable price (110) but they quoted me $120 for shipping to Canada. Is there a later drum that would work? I do not want to change the whole rear end out.

Brandon: You forgot about Rock Auto? They have a RAYBESTOS 2915R. Check the link (to see if it makes sense):

https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/plymouth,1957,belvedere,4.9l+301...

Shipping to Powell River won't be too bad (I hope). If not, try Lordco with the Raybestos number.

If you have an original rear end, then your drum is a hub/drum combination. You need to find a good used one, since the hub/drum combination is not available new. if you try to separate the two because youi've only seen drums available online, your rear drums will never work right and will chatter, vibrate and pull since the drum will no longer be centered on the hub.
