is there a follow up with brakes done on the Chief?

[@OneManGarage]

Yes , when it's actual....just started today

I just bought a 63 star chief and am going through the brakes on it, im having trouble finding brake drums for it. would you happen to know what other gms used the same front brake drums? because I cant find drums for a 63 Pontiac just 64-66 and or is it the same? (11.5 inch 5x5)?

[@OneManGarage]

Well on a 63 you have at the least 61-64 Pontiac big cars for parts .. some larger aluminum 12"front drum out there too. Not sure but maybe Olds would fit too

[@OneManGarage]

Rear drums and shoes I wonder why not C10 square body brakes

When is the test and tune passes going to be on the Catalina? 🧰🪛

[@OneManGarage]

When ? Exactly. Still got stuff to do besides transmission
