1964 Dodge drum brake hardware?

[Anselmi]

Need to replace brake shoes on my 1964 Dodge 440 wagon. 10" x 2,5" drums all around, I think. Shoes are available from the local speed shop, but they don't have anything listed for 1964 hardware or self adjuster assemblys. Can I use these from later models?

have them check '64 Polara. I've found that they often times dont show 330 or 440 parts but will show Polara. should be the same. Good Luck...

Napa has everything you'll need... including new self adjusters.

X2 on NAPA. Found all but one spring - be sure and save your old springs.

The adjuster kits are easy to find and cheap - might as well use all new hardware.

Why don't you take the time to convert your rear brakes to later model ('65 and up) drums. Its an easy conversion and you'll never have to deal with removing the "hubs" for a brake job again. Drums are a lot cheaper as well. Here's a link to the article I wrote on how to do this upgrade. http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/wiki/Mopar_tapered_axle_rear_brake_conversion

Yep - that conversion works great. NAPA to the rescue again - Got the new removable '65 drums there. And they pressed out the old studs and pressed in all R/H studs into the hubs..
