Looking at the NPD catalog and a few other suppliers, and they are showing that a 68 390GT can could have either 1 3/4" rear drums or 2"
Took my drums off today and to my surprise, my drums measured at 2" braking surface and my shoes measure at 1 3/4" wide. So I panicked thinking something is really screwed up.
Then I read this: "1 3/4" system will have a 2" braking surface on inside of drum.
2" System will have 2 3/8-7/16 " braking surface"
If this is true, then I have a 1 3/4" rear brakes. Why are suppliers listing 2" rear drums for my car, and should I have 2" instead of 1 3/4" ?
CONFUSED!!!!!
