R/T and drum brakes

Probably lots of posts already but - did any R/Ts have drum brakes or were all disk brakes? :clueless:

R/T and drum brakes

My '70 R/T originally had the heavy duty drums brakes as standard equipment. Fronts were 11 x 3 and the rears were 11 x 2.5. Front disc brakes were an option and required power brakes.

Disc brakes were an option in the early years

  My 69 Road Runner had 4 wheel drum brakes non power, you had to have a city block to stop if you were just going 65 mph, it now has power disc up front, no problem stopping.
