If you are not familiar with it yet, www.moparts.com is a pretty big and diverse online Mopar community that may provide some leads.


Good luck. And by the way....what class? :p ;)

look on ebay

Re: 1962 Chrysler Newport ???
 

If you don't find any new ones, there is probably somebody that can re-line yours. Use to be fairly common and with all the restoration stuff going on I would bet you can find someone.
My bad I thought you were looking for shoes.

Re: 1962 Chrysler Newport ???
 

nope plenty of guys have shoes--- 62 was a one year deal apparently on the drums---thanx anyway FED 387

Re: 1962 Chrysler Newport ???
 

Are the front and rear drums the same?
Some people retrofit the rear drums by pressing out the hub and retrofitting drums from other applications.

Re: 1962 Chrysler Newport ???
 

Not that I am aware of supposedly 2 different drums but will examine more closely --- just may work

Re: 1962 Chrysler Newport ???
 

The best way to find what you are looking for is to buy the latest Hemmings Motor News and look under Chrysler Mopar Parts. I saw several ads for brake parts, you want to look for C Body parts. Good luck!
