Man o man Roger. Im still unclear about backing plate dilemma. I am 100% 65 gmc dana 44, 3:54 gears as original. Why do I need to make a mod at all for e brake. Does it not work with wagoneer drum? Or, is my stock backing plate too large or small??
All I need are the drums.
Why I'm getting confused is I'm thinking you have a 57 backing plate. Mine is a 65.
One more clarification would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, excellent thread. Thank you a million. I'll bet every guy with a 65 or 66 will find this extremely helpful!
