Yesterday hotrod_man who I had never spoken to before took the time to call me in Oregon from West Virginia to let me know that there was an NOS rear drum on ebay.  He had seen my posting about needing drums for Pinto and called someone he didn't know at all to help me out :)  When I answered my phone I could have swore he asked me if this was the "Dumb butt" who needed the rear drums :)  LOL!  What in fact he did ask me was "Is this the gentleman who needs the rear drums :)"  I of course responded YES to what I thought was Dumb butt.  We had a good laugh and then talked for about half an hour.  hotrod_man Thank you.  Your a wealth of information!    I purchased the drum off ebay.  I kept your phone number and will pester you in the future when I need parts!  Thank Your for your help, and your offer to let me buy parts as well!  We all need to help each other out when we can the things we need for our ponies are not going to get easier to find!

That is what this forum is all about. Glad that you were able to find that brake drum. Just pat it forward.

Here's another early drum if you need a 2nd one though it's pricey. Make him an offer....
