So I live a couple miles from a gravel pit. I'm trying to get this thing going. I need a lot of gravel. It has a low miles engine replacement from 25 years ago. It runs good. I went to replace the master cylinder because it was missing. The brake line was rusted in half under the cab. So I figured I might as well replace all the brake parts. I can get the wheel cylinders and have the shoes relined if I can't find them.
So my issue now is the rear brakes drum I pulled off is shot. The numbers on it say Budd 90908. Google doesn't bring much up. It is a 15 inch drum.
Does anyone have a better way to look these up to see if I can find some sitting on the back of some shelf somewhere?
Thanks for the help.

I have a 20 year old Webb catalog with cross reference--90908 goes blank or no longer
available.

Back in those years Dodge used some Budd drums on some of their trucks and are impossible to find new. I have a ‘70 D300 with Budd drums. I found a scabby used one. The best solution may be to swap a complete axle assembly from a GM or Ford but they will likely not have the Budd wheels. Unfortunately, there probably are not many wreckers that will have a Budd drum for that truck. How bad is your drum?

Really bad. I talked to an industrial brake supply place. They measured everything and found a Webb part number. Which is also not available from what I could find.
WEBB #61554f.
Maybe someone can find one or 2 of them sitting on the back of a shelf somewhere. Im about to start looking for a different rearend. This is a 2 speed and has like 7.17 and 9.79 gears or something crazy like that.
Sounds like I probably won't have much luck getting a 10 lug rear to match. Darn the luck because the rest of the truck is in pretty good useable condition.
