7 1/4 To 8 3/4 drum brakes

damn, three year old thread back form the dead.
Haha I'm just reading this now.

Wondering the same question, putting Sbp 7.25 backing plate on sbp 8.75 and drilling the extra hole.

But as it turns out (from this old thread)

You can't?

Narrowing down a bbp b body 8.75 to a body length but using sbp axels shafts to fit the narrowed housing out if a deamon as I got a.good deal on them and I want to keep my stock steelies which are 5 on 4

So, on the look for sbp.8.75.backing plates now i guess?
