Forget the numbers on the drum, those are casting numbers, try Military Truck Dealers or Bus Dealers, using the Rockwell Axle number there are plenty of drums out there.  Post your Rockwell Axle number and when we land on the Oregon coast I will look for you, once upon a time had a company that built Mud boggers using duce and a half running gear.

Been going through the 87-89 Oshkosh Service Books, seems Rockwell is not mentioned, but a PO made hand notes dealing with Rockwell part numbers for wedge brake parts and brake chambers.  When we land will look for Rockwell Tag on the rear as seen on the front.
The Oshkosh part number for the rear drums is 2BV362

Thanks for all the info. Yes 64456f is the last numbers used for these drums.  I have found a set in Tacoma and going there tomorrow to see if they match.  Again thanks for everyone's help.
