Anyone have any good pics of the rear brakes of the different 14 bolt rear ends?

My 3/4 ton drums measure 12" ID & 13 1/4" OD roughly across. And around 4 1/4" in depth. I have not removed the drums yet to measure the shoe width.

Do I have the 11 5/32" brakes or the 13" brakes?

IF you have the Full Float, probably the bigger brakes, if the Semi Float, probably the smaller ones. In you year model, Big Blocks got the Full Floater, Small Blocks got the Semi Floater.

Dually and C&C 14-bolts have the same size large brakes, 3/4 ton 14 bolt full-floaters have the smaller ones. The ribbed drums denotes smaller brakes, the plain drums are friggin huge.

EDIT: hmm...from that link...
"The SRW and C&C axles use the same housings and shafts, with the difference in width being in the hubs. The housings are actuallly identical except for the location of the backing plate flange. Drums & hubs are different, but backing plates, shoes, and wheel cylinders are the same)"
