Re: On average, how many miles on front brake linings ('47 Super)

I have no issue with using the stock Packard drum brakes, especially the later Senior (2in wide) shoes. But as another data point on brakes that is more of an option these days, the disc brake conversion on my 1955 Pat was done in May 2001. 14-1/2 years later, the pads are still not down to the telltales. I'll probably swap them out anyway in the Spring as part of general maintenance.
