Had a guy tell me all 11" C body stuff was junk. He was trying to use 11x2 B Body backing plates with 11x2.5 drums. Another 20 yr old know it all.... 7626649-7411915468_118a2a11c5_z.jpg (61 downloads) ...FAFO...

As long as your not putting them on an A body 8-3/4. 8-1/4, 8-3/4, 9-1/4, DANA, all should interchange. I've even used F body 7-1/4 rear brakes on an 8-3/4.

Or do they all interchange? A Body 8 3/4 housing? A body backing plates won't work, you will need a set of B,C, or E body. You need to know which 11" backing plates you have to get the correct drums. ...FAFO...
