Default How many of you have drums in the back?

Wanting to change rims but don't like the way the drums look,I've found a few threads that says the drums do the job.But I'm looking for looks as this truck isn't being modded for racing(yet)...Can I see some pics of other CCSB w/rims & drums.I might have to find a wrecked VMAX as a donor...

As long as the drums are in good shape and are still black, you should be fine with the looks aspect

I still have drums on my truck but they still look new so not too noticeable. I too tho want to swap to the 9.5 14bolt because of the strength and because of the disks.

I hate GMs 99-04 rear disc/e-brake setups.


Looks fine to me

I have drums on my 88 if that helps...lol

But really, paint them with a high temp black with good prep work and they will look good...a properly rebuild drum setup works great....I do like disc brakes also, but with my 15's I don't have alot of options with the dodge axle...
