Topic: 1940 Ford Deluxe brake drums

  In the last post I meant to say that the 1939 and 1941 drums will not fit a 1939 Ford Deluxe sedan. Any help in finding these 1940 drums will be appreciated. Thanks.

  I'm a little confused on your question. The 39 drums use the "wide five" bolt pattern and the 40-41 drums use the 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern. Are you wanting to use the 40 style wheels on your 39? The spindles from 1937-1941 are the same, so the drums from 1937-1941 should fit your spindles. If you are changing drums you may have to re-adjust the brakes to get the new drums to fit.
