Mattias78 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Hi I have a question about the drumbreaks on a 1948 dodge business coupe! Is it 10 or 11 inch drums in the front? The car is on its way to me so i haven´t been able to check the diameter on the front drums my self! And now i need to know when ordering parts! Does anybody knows? Thanks! /mattias Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 24, 2014 Report Posted February 24, 2014 Per my Motors manual, they groups all the Dodges 1949 - 1952 with same specs..so if any consolation, my 50 had 11 inch brakes...close as I can get you an answer...you service manual for Dodge should have that information .
