Re: [Amc-list] Needed AMC American Front Brake Drums for 9" x 2" Brakest

["StefanGB" <StefanGB@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Todd,

Thank you for the website address. I will try them!

I am new at chasin AMC parts, though I work with Ford parts all the time.

Are the AMC parts of the 60's more like Ford, Chrysler or GM? More 
specifically the parts I need are the brake drums and some 
steering/suspension components.

All the Best,
             Stefan
