12 x 2.5 and 12 x 3 drum Question

Postby sdstriper » Mon Jan 15, 2007 11:51 am

There are different part numbers for the 12 x 2.5 and 12 x 3 inch drums. Is there really a difference in the actual part? I have never had the 3 inch drums to inspect. I have had several trucks and all had the 2.5 inch, all three trucks I have now are 2.5 inch. Also can anyone comment on what it takes to convert to 3 inch?

same part # shows to fit dana 60 H.D. and dana 70 with either 12 x 2.5 or 12 x 3.0 rear shoes 2wd or 4wd.

The NAPA lists the same part number too. They cost me 80.00 two years ago.

One axle I purchased had new drums already on it :D ..and new shoes too!
