Hey guys...new to the scene...and jumping in head first!

just got a new project...1952 GMC 100 1/2 ton.

nice shape and almost a driver!

doing the brakes and wondering if the drums are usable.  i'm looking for the minimum thickness spec for the front and rear drums.

tried seaching Google and a lot of forums, but i thought i'd ask the experts here.

thanks in advance!

Buff off the rust around the outside of the drum, on the front side.  The maximum diameter should be cast in.
