73-76 7.25 with BBP has a larger wheel bearing on it Jim. The spacing for the brake is also different.

So, can the 73 and up 7.25 10” brake drums and backing plates be used on a 8.75?

''73 and newer 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern brakes taken from a 7.25" rear will interchange onto a 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern 8.75" rear.
My new 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern 7.25" conversion axles use stock '72 and earlier 9" or 10" A-body drum brake hardware and backing plates. You must re-drill the brake drums or purchase my new 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern drums. As always, you DA MAN Cass! ![up up](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/custom/thumbs_up.gif)
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
