Inland Truck Parts found me one for 375 in Alabama PLUS SHIPPING. 

I am not complaining.  266 plus my states highway robbery.

Just part of the fun.

Doesn't do any good to complain they have you,what i don't understand is you can buy the larger Webb drums like the 16x8 for trucks for $135.00 all day long

I think that demand has more to do with it.  Like a 30 gallon water heater is sometimes more expensive than a 40 gallon.  People just don't buy as many. They still want them but Boutique items are more expensive because of the less demand.

That plus the "Q" brakes where just for buses so they just don't cast the drums anylonger same with the "S" cams, lol time marches on at a price,Revco or Webb are not casting that drum any more I was told by both
