Need source for brake drum, Ford 9" with Chevy bolt pat
I picked up a big bearing Ford 9" (60 to 72) and the drums are too thin to surface plus I was going to have to redrill to Chevy pattern.
I have been looking over the internet but can't come up with a source. I figured one of you guys has done it already!
Thanks, Dave

I put disc on mine. Wilwood can give you a rotor with 6 lug pattern for a 9".
I called Strange and ask for tech and a women answered the phone.
(this is usually not a good sign for me) I ask her did they have a rear disc brake with a 6 lug bolt pattern for a Ford 9". She told me they had 5 holes for a Ford, but I'll ask one of the guys if we can drill another hole in it. I thought (bad assumption) whoever she was gonna ask may realize what I wanted and help me. She then told me they could not drill an extra hole it! I just laughed hung up and called Wilwood and got my brakes within a few days!!
