Enormous brake drums came hanging from the 9'' rear of my FED project. 5 x 5 pattern, 12'' x 2'' shoes, 3 3/8'' hub center. Heavy enough to shear your foot off at the ankle. Anybody know what these are from?

brake drums
I have a 9 inch ford rear end in my yard with drums that looks exactly like those pictured. Out of a 75 LTD.[P

The 1973-78 Ford full size and T birds used the 5 on 5 bolt pattern. The drum center and height are right but what is throwing me off is the 12 inch brakes. Maybe it was a police special. Are there any numbers on the drum?

A 15" diameter OD brake drum is not going to fit any 75 LTD wheel.
Probably a van or pickup with 16.5" diameter wheels.

Nothing resembling a part # that I can see. Just a few digits inside the lip. There's a 3 in the upper left, and 4 12 at the bottom.
The car was built before '73 as far as I can tell. Didn't vans and trucks use a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern?
