Anyone know if anyone makes replacement brake drums for a 1955 Dodge? Or do I have to convert to disc brakes? I would like to find drum replacements now, and possibly convert in the future. But, if there are none out there, then I guess the answer is pretty clear. I haven't found a source yet. I am doing a frame off restoration on my '55. Thanks.

Tough to find good quality drums nowadays, hopefully more in the future. I would start researching disc kit.

Kanter now remanufacturing for 1957 onwards Dodge, you might enquire about '55-56.
