<VV> LM Brakes

[Dave Thompson]

I just checked my 1950 -1965 GM Parts interchange manual. According to the
manual, the early model brake drums are shared with the Chevy II. The late
model drums are not shared with any other car (Of course, we all know that
there are mistakes in manuals).

A possible correction - the interchange I've always been told for LM  
drums and shoes were Chevelles, not Novas.
