11" Brakes

I bought an 8.75 rear axle from a 1969 C body car. I believe the brakes are 11x2. Can I use the original backing plates and convert to 11 x 2.5 shoes and drums. Any help please.

Hey Tim,

2" shoes with 11"Drums ?? I thought that the only shoes available with 11" drums were 2 1/2 or 3" .

Also, aren't the backing plates the same for 11" ??
