I got my axles from two aerostar vans as well as the drums, but the drums seem to be 10". How do I measure the drums? If I am measuring the drums correctly and they are 10." Can I buy 10" drum brakes and have everything fit on my fox with no problems?

Measure across the inside diameter. If it measures 10" they are 10"drums

you can do the 10" swap, but you will need the backing plate and all hardware

You can literally go to Pick n pull and pull everything off a ford ranger.

What I did was pull off the drums or go buy the drums for a 7.5 rear end 5lug, These drums are smaller and will work.

Thank you to all who replied.
I think I'm just going to exchnage the drums for 9" at pick pull. I don't want to do the 10" swap.
Thank you everyone!!

All you need to go to the 10" rear brakes is the backing plates, all the 9" hardware swaps over.

Even the brakes shoes themselves swap over?
