    Pinion Brakes

    Why not keep the drum brakes and upgrade the rest to little more modern. Since you want to compare look at a over road semi. Carry massive loads and run drum brakes, just everything else to it is better then a m35 style to get there. Your after surface area, and clamping pressure. Drums have...
