The difference is in the braking setup. Thing drums use the late bug style shoes and hardware while the early Type 3 wide 5 drums use the wider and larger Type 3 shoes, wheel cylinders and hardware. The early type 3 drums therefore give you more braking power in the rear. There's nothing wrong with running
the thing drums at the rear with the type 1 brakes especially since early Type 3 setups are getting harder to find. Both setups will bolt onto long axle/long spline setups just fine with the correct spacers.

I think, in my case, Things and Type 3s are
the same(?) I think I had the option of either. Let's all remember that I have a
bug tranny and a swing or straight axle kit, sold by Steve at Wolfgang.
Frankenbus. I like the conversion, but it can be a headache trying to remember
all the pieces.

Regarding t3 drums, they are not mounted by the hub, but by two
Allen screws. They are not compatable with a bus stub axle. Thing drums are
likely what you are looking for.

That is exactly what you have Denis. You definitely want the
stud kit with any aftermarket wheel; and they are not a bad idea with
stock wheels. Much safer than the stock type lug bolts.
Fred: Just do exactly what Denis has with wheels and
studs.

That is what I have, isn't it Sammie? I
have Type 3 drums in the rear and studs and lugnuts, no spacers. And
Fred, if Sammie has wide 5 Empi's, that is what you want, isn't it?
Mine are 15s, is that a problem?

Use the screw in studs and lug nuts. Empi
has them and almost everyone stocks them; like try Jack Wenk
at Black Gold. He can also fix you up with some Empi 5
spokes if that is what you want.

CIP offers extra long wheel bolts when
using spacers, will these not work?

CIP sells them. Like $18 each. Easy
to find. I dont know much about splits, but on bays,
the rear drums have ridges, and do not allow the
wheel to lay flat on the hub. Spacer is only about
1/4" thick. Sounds like an awsome plan for the bus.

That is so cool! I've decided on the polished empi 5s and the stainless safari's. My goal is a two tone white and dove blue. So I need some kind of spacer for the rear wheels?
