Thanks guy's, but i found a set that i can make work in my area.

Great .Thank you.

OK sounds good where do we go from here?

don't know if those would fit a 8&3/4 rear housing.

looking for rear backing plates for 11x2.5 brakes on 8&3/4 rear end, doesn't matter what they came from i'll make em work. Thanks from western Canada

Understood thanks. that helps a lot, i just have to go searching now.

The hub has 5x41/2 stud spacing so they should be the same but the drums are good so it would be nice to just put them back on.Thanks

have an 8&3/4 rear that has large nut holding rear hub, it has 11x2.5 drums and new shoes and cylinders,but no e-brake cables. Can i swap the backing plates for ones that do? If so what year and model do i look for? Thanks

thank you for the welcome. The drums are good and i have the tool to take off hub.I was hoping i could just replace backing plates that have e-brake system and put drums back on. ( too easy huh)

Thanks for the welcome. The drums are good shape,the space from flange face to backing plate is 3". I have tool to get hub off.

I have a hot rod with early 8&3/4 rear that has cotter key and large nut holding rear hub, and i need to change to park brake style backing plates. It has 11x2.5 drums will a newer,style backing plate and rigging fit? Thanks.
