rear end question

38 Dodge said

prettyblue,
I'm confused? I understand about the LBP with the wheels; but how will changing the axles effect the brakes? Unless you are tlaking about the availability of LBP vrs SBP. Also what does the center section block effect with the differnt axles? I guess I'm thinking the only change would be the bolt pattern am I wrong with this line of thinking?

As said earlier,SBP brake parts are getting pretty hard to find(10x1 3/4 drums,shoes,backing plates)When swapping to LBP axels,most have them made for 10x2 1/2 inch brakes(most parts stores still carry most parts).Doing this you have to also swap the backing plates,shoes,drums and E-brake bar.You could always have your SBP axels,drums drilled for LBP.
Oh,also with going with the LBP axels,most take the center section blocks out,which your have already fallen out.:D
