Finding Oriellys kind of high on prices. I have drum all the way around and probably stay with them for a while. Got enough expenses buying sheet metal and the rest of the car interior parts. Russ. 
Hey Russ a good reliable mopar friend told me how to convert my drums on the front go to a junk yard tell them you need the spindle and rotates for a 85 Chrysler 5th Avenue you may need to get the rotary turned but every thing bolts to a tee but only thing is you have to order the pads and the hoses for the Chrysler 5th Avenue that's what I have on mine

That sound's good to me. But for now will keep the old drum brakes. Just a little money saved. Think I will put disc on when the car is done and drive it for a while. Got to think this system worked for 40 some odd years and every thing is their rite now. Thanks for the pointer's will keep it in mind when ready to change to the disc brake set up. Oh going to keep original brake cylinder no booster or power brake's. I have a heavy foot any how. . Your Runner Bud Russ.

If you really want a power booster would try NAPA. I also see these parts in the Classic Industries book. Russ.

I like classic for what they have but like Year One they price themselves out of sales with rediculous shipping cost. I was charged some crazy amount over $10 just getting a plastic pentstar shipped

That is why they can advertise free returns.

That is pretty bad when shipping is more than the price of the part. What's up with that. Like to buy part's form a local supply store that way I can walk in and complain if I have a problem. Like I said before NAPA sells OE part's for most cars. Bought a starter from Discount Auto and had problems like wise with water pump. Yea they will replace the part but who wants to take it back off and take it back. Napa parts have worked for years after installing the parts the starter was about 30 bucks more than the other guy's but never had to touch it again. Russ.
