8 3/4 big brake parts
« on: June 06, 2008, 11:47:00 PM »

I am looking for a pair backing plates for  11" brakes.  I plan on replacing all of the hardware and wheel cyls, so I just need the backing plates.  Also would like to know what vehicle they originally came off of so that I can order drums and axles.

Leave me a price and a way to contact you.  Zip code is 64086 if you want to check shipping.

Thanks!

They only came on C-bodies that I know of and that's the best place to get them.

I was told to look for something off of a van or truck.  As long as it's an 8 3/4 rear end, he can match the axles.

This is where I got my discs, I don't know if he has the backing plates:

He also has the backing plates if you look further down. Some money, but all new parts that should bolt straight to a B-Body end style rear axle.

I guess I'm going to need some of the hardware too.  This is what I'm looking for...

Price isn't too bad either.

I've got the complete set off of my '68 300 I parted out. Everything worked, but the E-brake cables. I'm not sure if the cables were the issue. I'll take $80 for the set, but you pay shipping.

Just go to the junk yard and look for a 1980s Gran Fury. All you have to do is make the bottom hole a little bigger, and it will bolt up to your 8 3/4. That way you can get every thing you need in one shot.

Sorry, I forgot to  check back. 

I bought the ones above off of Ebay for $60 including shipping.  I checked the guy's previous sales, and he has been selling sets just like them for $90 plus shipping, so I guess I got a pretty good deal. 

Thanks everyone.
