1949 KB1-Installed Raybestos brake drum #2316 on rear. Matched perfectly. I payed around $100 but I saw them on Amazom for under $60.00.

This is an awesome thread. Having the tune up part #'s saved my bacon. NAPA couldn't look the stuff up but it was in stock when I supplied the #'s. Thanks!

Would this be the same for the front drums??

King Pin Kit for my 1949 KB-3 1 Ton Truck. Might fit other K and KB trucks but check size!!
These king pins are .860" in diameter and 5.45" long.
AutoZone has them under part number K141R but here is a part number cross-over list that might be useful too. Once I found this I had a MUCH easier time finding the king pins. I paid about $72 with tax.

Here is the cross-over list;


Here is a picture of what comes in the kit. Very useful!

Sorry for the delay as I did not see your question regarding the front drums. I believe that the lugs are sweged into the front drums. I didn't need fronts and don't know if the front drums are the same minus the lugs. Another more knowing member can probably help you out.

Round thick, hardened washers used to hold the intake/exhaust manifold to the block. These are NOT the odd shaped ones.
IHC part #127507H or #400877R1. While there are a few places selling them under these numbers they are very expensive at $6+ for each washer plus postage. Some are not exact replacements too.

After much searching I found an exact replacement.
These are .875" OD with a .406" hole diameter and are .188" thick. Sometimes also listed as 7/8" X 13/32" X 3/16".
They are available from MSC under Gibraltar #74213646 for $1.62 each
