rear brake drums
What's the difference between 1962 and 1964 full size rear drums? 1964 drums are easy to buy. Same size shoes aren't they?

59-63 original parts number for shoes was 5462870. Then 64 was 5465267.
Drums were 59-63 533124 but 64-66 were 9775688. I don't have the size data readily available but since both shoes and drums changed in 64 I would question the diameter and width being the same between 62 and 64. Do you need 62 drums? |

62 are smooth and 64 are finned for extra cooling.
I have 64 drums on my 62, don't recall the shoes being different.

I bought the car in December and found one of the rear drums badly scored. I also want to add self adjusting brake mechanism to rear brakes.

FYI I bought a pair of new rear drums for a '61 at O'Reilly about six months ago.

I looked online and replacement rear shoes are the same for both years. I took a rear drum off a 1964 GP and off my 1962 Bonneville and they interchange. The 1964 drum is finned and weighs twice as much as the 1962 one. Thanks webfoot. I wonder why nobody lists 1964 drums for the earlier cars. You go online and there is nothing listed for 1962.

They probably know how picky Pontiac guys are about using correct parts.
No idea why!

I would rather have good parts than correct parts.
