many people don't understand that not all for backing plates are the same and the distance between backing plates can be different between two similar cars. 65 K mustangs and 65 shelby mustangs are the easiest example. the rearends are exactly the same so the width is the same from axle flange to axle flange. the difference is the shelby has wider brakes so the distance from backing plate to backing plate is about 1 1/2 inch less. ford just made backing plates fit deeper over the end of the housing to fit wider brakes. this was done on many models for many years. usually station wagons have the deeper plates but they were usually an option on the similar sedans. hawkrod |
