Man, you are really confusing me today !

I put out an email to all the members in our Sacramento Mopar club asking for rear drum brake parts.
A former resident that moved to Texas responded...he has drums on 2 of his 1962 axles.
Great...The ONLY one to respond is over 1400 miles away and had the wrong style!
You could message @hemi71x and see if he has any

He and I have had a feud going on several years.
I used to see him at the junkyards and swap meets frequently. I was always treated rudely when I tried to talk to him.
He is a crotchety, grouchy curmudgeon. Sure, he is smart and knowledgeable but is also a crabby guy to be around. I gave up trying to be nice to him.
Once about 5 years ago at Moparts I considered giving him 20 lower control arms I had collected from parting out cars. He restores them for sale and I thought he might appreciate the offer. He had me blocked so from then on, I have nothing nice to say about him.
The rusted one you have pictured is 1970 and newer hardware. Up to late 70 somewhere, unsure exactly.
Top picture below is a 1967 10” with the wheel cylinder removed, everything else is in place.
note the difference in the cable end and the lever for self adjusting. Here it has a tab that goes into a hole. On 70 and newer there is a pivot pin pounded in the shoe and the lever is flat.
bottom picture is a 1978 Fury 11”.
note how the park brake lever attaches to the shoe. 1967 has a pin through the shoe with a U shaped retainer clip with the tails bent to retain it in a groove. 1978 has a rectangular hole with a tab that goes through. Yellow circle.

Uhhh, obviously it was. The 318/904 7 1/4" car I worked on yesterday had a 2.24 axle and a tiny ring gear. I have owned several of all sizes of Mopar axles. I'm keenly aware of the shape of the 8 1/4 differential cover.I own an 86 5th ave and have known two friends with them.
All 8 1/4.
Every one I've seen at a junk yard was 8 1/4 as well.
For a time I harvested and sold their 15x7 steel wheels.
Was the 7 1/4 even produced in the 80's?
