Wide 5 type 3 drums are pretty rare these days. It is seriously cheaper to fit disc brakes unless you are very lucky with your buying.
I sold a set of Type 3 wide 5 rear drums for $150 about 12 months ago.

That's what I was wondering. If I can get some for that price I'd be in!!

Think the problem is getting the parts to rebuild them also? Ren has just gotten over the shock of the quotes for freshening his brakes on his notch.

That right, everything adds up. Don't forget you'll need backing plates, shoes, slave cylinders, handbrake cables, etc etc on top of the purchase price of the drums.
Rear Discs can be quite cheap if you go to a pick apart and spend the time to get decent 2nd hand parts. I'll post some prices for parts later today.
ouch.... crap... HAHA!
hmm... anyone got some wide ass 4 stud offroad wheels (just need 2) that would fit some 31'' rubber?
