I scored a small bearing 57 Ford rear housing the the shop truck. The backing plates and drums were missing, and that is an expensive endeavor.
So, I rounded up a set of Maverick backing plates and installed the original 57 axles. My plan was to use the maverick brake shoes etc which are really cheap.
The question is, can I use the drums as well?
They are kinda funky looking.
I have the small Ford center hole on the axle 2.43" I believe.
I heard that some of the early 80's F100 pickups would interchange, but they have the larger hole.
Anyone done this swap?
