I was hoping someone would tell me the 10x2.5" finned drums were 69-70.

Did you try the search feature??

Try "finned drum" or "finned front drum"   ;)

KevinK:
Ah, the search showed some discussions that finned drums likely start in 68. No sure how to read the codes in the drum casting B52 and screw in plate of J4. I might guess Bendix and 4 the week of 69?

The guy I got the parts from also had a 69 Mach 1 which I might guess these were left over parts.

I guess I need to look at the spindles closer for details.

Will the wheel bearings give any clues? I thought I recall the wheel bearings changing in 70.  I don't have a use for these and it would be helpful to know what they will fit for marketing purposes.

krelboyne:
Check the casting number on the spindles. C60... drum brake spindles were used through 1969.

KevinK:
Ok, I now have a photo. Backside of the vertical portion of the spindle.  I see C60. Per the previous post, that would make them 1969.
