56 Odometer Drum Vendor?

[Mark P.]

I need to replace the odometer drum for my 56 and had one on order from Dr. Rebuild, but it has been on backorder for 2 months with no end in sight. They said they are still waiting, but don't offer any other options and not very positive that they'll get it anytime soon.

Any other vendors anyone could recommend?

Thanks, Mark

I have found that there are distinguishable differences in the repro/replacement drums lettering that mark them as not original. Be aware of that for judging purposes. On the other hand, there are uncounted GM cars pre-1970 or so with identical to original drums floating around in bone yards around the country.

Thanks, Mike. I eneded up getting one from Corvette Specialties of Maryland and the font is the same so I'll use it.
