The rear shoes on my rod are 10".  You asked about the rod.  I bought it in '58, it's a '33 Ford pickup, channelled 10".  Bought it that way, cab and chassis.  Got it running finally in '72 with a stock 292 Y in it.  Wore out the Y, put a flathead in it because that style rod would have had a flathead "in the day".  Big mistake, Y had a  lot more power.  Quit driving it about 15 years ago when it got ravaged by rust.  Drove it out of the barn last winter and started rebuilding it.

Mark, i,m sure they would be  11"?. Maybe i,m wrong. 10" brakes didnt start till 60 falcon /comet, etc. regards bill.

I just bought new shoes for the '52 rear end in my street rod at O'Reilly.  They looked them up in a paper catalog.

Hey guys I need to replace the seals for my front wheel bearing on my 54 Ford Customline.  The parts shops here can't look up any for my car.  Dose anyone know what ones fit my car?  Also I need new front brake shoes and no one can find them either.   I would appreciate any help.  Thank you.
