Question Backing Plates

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?

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.
