What year cars or trucks have brake drums with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern and 11 inch inside diameter 2 pads?

There isn't a definitive year range for vehicles with *precisely* those brake drum specifications (5x4.75 bolt pattern, 11-inch inside diameter, 2 pads). The combination of those features isn't a standardized specification that car manufacturers consistently adhered to across multiple years and models.

Here's why it's difficult to answer precisely:

* Bolt pattern is common, but size varies widely: The 5x4.75" bolt pattern is very common, but it's found on many trucks and SUVs from various manufacturers over many decades, with different drum brake sizes.

* Drum size varies by model and year: The 11-inch inside diameter is a dimension that is not a key identifying feature listed in most parts catalogs. Brake drum size is largely determined by the vehicle's weight and braking requirements. A wider range of sizes existed for any given year and bolt pattern.

* Two pads is standard: Almost all drum brakes use two brake shoes, so this isn't a distinguishing feature.

To find the vehicles that might have these characteristics, you'd need to:

1. Start with the bolt pattern: Focus your search on vehicles known to use the 5x4.75" bolt pattern. This will narrow down your search to mainly American-made trucks and some SUVs.

2. Consult parts catalogs or databases: Use online parts lookup tools (like RockAuto, AutoZone, etc.) and enter the 5x4.75" bolt pattern. Then, examine the brake drum options listed for various years and makes/models. You'll need to look for the drum's inside diameter yourself. This is the most reliable way to identify vehicles that fit your criteria.

3. Consider year and weight: Older, heavier trucks are more likely to have larger brake drums.

In short, you can't get a year range without a significantly more specific query or significant research through parts catalogs. The features you listed are too broad.
