Drum Brake ?

I have a 71 Duster with an a body 8 1/4 rear end with 11 x 2 1/2 inch rear drum brakes. I was under the impression that the vehicle should either have 9 or 10 inch drums. What vehicle could the brakes be out of so that I can order correct parts? Thanks.

Thanks. So should all 11 x 1/2 inch rear brakes be the same? Also I just noticed the parking brake cable is missing. When ordering will it require a special one because of the 11 inch drums?

8 3/4 rears all the same. Parking brake cable is specific to your car. Rear doesn't matter. I used the ones from my 7 1/4 rear in my 8 3/4.

On cskauto.com there are two different length front parking cables one for 9 and one for ten inch drums. How does the drum size affect front cable length? Also which one would a mine use since the rear has 11 inch drums? Thanks

Found out Inline Tube has them, inlinetube.com They have two kits though one with and one without an intermediate cable. Does anyone know what setup a 71 Duster has?
