    I'm trying to order new brakes for my 1973 Maverick (not a grabber),
    and they need to know if I have 9" or 10" drums.

    Does anyone know if I have a standard size? I have 5 lugs. Thanks!

    All the 5-lugs I've seen have been 10", 4-lug = 9". You could just pull a wheel off and measure the diameter of the drum. 9" drums are a little over 9" outside diameter, 10" drums a little over 10" outside diameter. The 9" and 10" dimensions refered to are the inside diameters of a new drum.
