There are too many dimensions with potential problems. Add your general location and maybe someone has one you could work with. If you are in Southern California message me as I have what you need to work with. Having said that, I get 13 1/2 inches on a post war drum. What are you trying to fit, maybe it has been done before.

Thanks for this. Attempting to find a brake setup that is compatible with rim options. Someone commented that a F100 brake setup maybe a possibility. 12 inch drums outside diameter is too big.

If you can't find some original Lincoln brakes (most of them have already found) you need to go with the reproduction Lincoln brakes, or stay with the original Ford brakes. What problems are you having with the original brakes? If you are having problems maybe they could be solved. Charlie Stephens This message was edited by CharlieStephens on 1-29-20 @ 1:25 PM

purchase the boling brother's Lincoln backing plates/shoes/wheel cylinders and you can use your stock drums/hubs, only requires some modification to top of spindle. if you use 48/56 ford pu brakes you have to use those drums/hubs/backing plates/cylinders also you have to change out the bearings to fit the spindle and also a slight grinding of the top of the spindle is required to clear the truck wheel cylinder. I have done both and as the pu stuff is drying up I have used three sets of the new parts

I don't understand your problem with the wheel and the drum. Are you trying to use a non-stock wheel on your car? What year of car are you trying to fit the wheels on? Tom

Yes. Looking at non stock rims options. One option will not allow for a fit with Lincoln Drums.

The Boling brothers product will not work with the non stock rim of my first choice. Someone made a suggestion to use F100 brakes (11" drums?). Are loaded backing plates available ?

I like the look of the wide 5 rims, what rims are you considering? If I wanted a non stock rim it would be the '40-'48 Ford and the problem would go away. You should also try posting your question on HAMB: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/forums/the-hokey-ass-message-board.5/ Charlie Stephens This message was edited by CharlieStephens on 1-30-20 @ 10:47 AM

Thanks for the reply. I am investigating parts for F100 conversion. Ant pictures of front brake setup? Trying to find the right combination of parts for my project.

For the conversion, go over to the HAMB or the Barn, you might get detailed instructions or even part numbers. Paul in CT

Any idea where I could find F100 front backing plates? Thanks

They show up at swap meets periodically. You can buy new drums, so all you need are the hubs and backing plates. You will use the 53-56 F-100s. Many F-100 owners have converted to discs so the parts are out there. You might call some of the early F-100 parts suppliers as they may have some that were taken off pickups. Also check your area for salvage yards that deal in older model cars and pickups. All the internal parts for the brakes can be obtained at most auto parts stores. You will need to change the inner bearing and seal for the conversion to the early spindles. You will use the Koyo roller bearing #14116 and National seal # 473440. You will also have to chamfer the inner race of the bearing so it properly fits the spindle. you will also have to slightly notch the top of the spindle to clear the brake hose fitting. You regular master cylinder will work just fine.

Thanks for this. I will post some follow up questions soon.

What would outside diameter of a F1 11 inch drum be? Trying to setup desired rim with brake drums. Did purchase 1953 front backing plates. This message was edited by 1936TWC on 4-3-20 @ 1:15 PM

Unfortunately I don't have one to measure. Can you go to the auto parts store and measure one of their drums? You will probably have to buy new drums any way so measure those that you will have to use.

Outside diameter is 12.75 inches
