      should be 11", however Scott's super base model 86 CV wagon apparently has 10", which I didn't know was supposed to happen.

        My 88 definitely has 11"... apparently the same as police package sedans, according to the parts house's computer anyway.

              I bet the brake drum size correlates to having the tow package or not.. maybe possibly having the 8 passenger option?

                          I bet that is it, the extra weight of the wood requires the bigger brakes...
