can anybody tell me if the brakes from an 8 1/4 rear end work on an 8 3/4 rear end?

Yes.

Bear in mind that the axles need to have the correct offset from the housing (B/C/E axle spacing).

Jim doesnt the 8.25 have only 4 bolts holding the backing plate on?

 

[Jim_Lusk]

Yes, but the fifth hole is there in the backing plate.

My friend came across a 77 C body with an 8.25. Is there a chance it's got 11 x 2.5" brake drums?

 

[Jim_Lusk]

77 would be iffy. Can't hurt to look, though.

Not necessarily. Small bolt a-bodies used a thinner wheel flange that was closer to the axle housing than big bolt cars. You can't use big bolt brakes with re-drilled axles.
