c20 front drum backing plate help, compatibility?
 
So I cracked the front drum brake backing plate on my 69' c20 2wd where the brake bleeder nipple goes in (drivers side). :pty: Since it is 3/4 ton I am having the hardest time trying to find a replacement for it. Any thoughts as to what other years could work in terms of a replacement so I can broaden my search? no luck online for the backing plate for that year

Doesn't the bleeder go in the wheel cylinder ?

I agree with Larry. Weld it up (or have it welded) and grind it down smooth.....
