backing plate

Post by samericsson67 »

hey, my '69 needs a new front brake backing plate because it is bent. i was wondering if anybody either has one that they could sell to me, or if it is possible to use a plate from any year other than 67-72?

thanks.

Not trying to step on your toes, Elge! Don't rush into anything yet, let me check my basement. I just swapped to front disc and I think my old drum assemblies are down there. I'll get back to you this afternoon.

Curiosity got the best of me and I had to go look. Yep, I've got 'em. Can't tell which is left or right though. Want 'em both? Or post a pic of the bent one and I'll try to figure it out.

You are not bothering me at all. However helps. Riff has done great by me & has a bunch of Ford trucks from '53-'96. I get nothing from recommending him other than knowing I may be helping 2 people. Riff & whoever is looking for parts.
