Which drums do I have?

95bucket · Jun 29, 2017

Search and sticky thread wasn't specific enough. Unless I missed something. Want to replace my brakes all the way around but the parts catalog doesn't go by year or model. It just lumps all the parts together for you to figure out.

My truck-
95 chevy k2500 6 lug 5.7 semi float axles. 13" or 11" drums ? What do I need for calipers? Thx for the help

Check your RPO codes, and refer to this thread:

@someotherguy posted some very useful info from his '94 factory service manual in there. I was going to go look it up in mine but I was pretty sure I'd seen it posted before. Google to the rescue!

Calipers don't work well with drums

6 lug = 11" and 8 lug = 13" drums. There were 2 8 lug variants of drums, one on the SF and the other on the FF axle. FF had wider shoes.
