Looking for some 10" rear backing plates....or even the whole brake assemblies for a 7 1/4 small bolt pattern rear. Thank you drive through.
 
Rob , I have a B body 7 1/4. Would the backing plates from that work ?

I honestly don't know. I would "assume" so, but you know what they say about that. I think the A & B body 8 3/4 have different axle offsets. Whether that makes the backing plates different or it's like that on the 7 1/4 I haven't a clue.
 
well if you find out give me a holler. Got 1 sittin out back doing nothing with it. I'll measure them to make sure they are 10"

Ok, I'll start a thread now and see. Thanks, Al!

I’m about to swap my rear end in a few days. You can have whatever you need off the 7 1/4 rear end for shipping cost. I’ll have some air shocks and leaf springs as well.

Is it the small bolt pattern A body rear with 10" brakes?
 
Unfortunately no... Big bolt from a 73 A Body. Stock 10” drum though.

I would be interested in any of it you want to ship sans housing and axles. Carrier included. They ain't makin anymore of it.
 
I changed to 10" rear drums on my 64 7-1/4 a few years ago. I bought the backing plates from a FABO member, possibly Lee Robinson. I came up with all the other parts. Then I sold the removed complete 9" brakes to another member who needed parts. So nothing left to make a comparison.
From what I remember they are attached with 4 fasteners instead of the more common 5 like on the bigger axles.
 
There’s a difference in backing plates from early abody 7.25 rearends and later 67 and up 7 1/4. Just so you know
 
I think it was the mounting pattern, on the end of the axle and backing plate.

Ok, thanks. I do appreciate all the input.

I know, I'll say it first. That's what she said last night.
 
I just dropped the axle housing from a 71 Demon this week. 10" brakes do you still need them? 318 / 904 combo if any of that interests you.

Small bolt pattern 7 1/4 rear end?
 
Yes, I am parting a 71 Demon 318 / 904 combination. I never drove the car . But typical grandparents car.
