As part of my eeeeevil plan to upgrade the brakes on Grover, I decided to get on Google and see if I could find backing plates.

You'd think I was trying to find the Holy Grail!

I'm not planning to convert to front disc brakes, so I just want the backing plates and hardware from a later model (About 1967 and later) F250 with drum brakes all around, and I wanted to see if anybody sold backing plates new, just in case I couldn't find what I want in a scrap yard. However, I didn't have any luck with a Google search.

Do any of y'all have any ideas?

great site for used parts.
What rear axle you running?

 

Wouldn't ya know . I had that 70 f 250 sitting around here for over a year parting it out, ya know the one that dana 60 you picked up came from , and it had drums all around . it left , what was left , my possesion oh about 3 months ago and geuss what it was wearing on the front for brakes ?

 

I think NAPA still sells them, also brake & clutch suppliers. They are probably made in China now but "oh well"...

 

Thanks to 55F350, I now have a Dana 60 rear axle. It's replacing the stock Timken unit.

 

you know i'm glad my wife wasn't here when you got here . she was gonna give my ol' turd and all the parts and engines you could carry !! never happen as i'll give her go cart i mean pt to the scrap yard !! hee heee
