Wish I could help. I have a 53 LTL but did not come with front brakes. I think most LTL 6 wheelers did not have them. Good luck find them. Only place to find part numbers would be the Mack museum. Think most books are long gone.

Do you have the drum dimensions? Diameter, width etc.

The ID diameter is 17".From the outside edge of the hub to the leading edge of shoe is 5.75.The width of shoe is 4" Total width of drum is 9.75.We had a set that would fit except drum hit the backing plate.we took them back,this was several years ago.A couple of weeks ago the subject came up again of outfitting BLACKIE with front brakes.The simple solution was to turn off excess of the back of the drum.That must have been the ONLY set of drums on the planet.That is why we are looking for cross referance books.Didn't know what we had .How DUMB could we be!
