    I'm in need of a set of rear drum brakes for 70-72 Mav. 8" rear. Need everything from backing plate to drums. If anyone has upgraded to discs and would like to sell their drums please let me know. Thanks

    I'd like to bump this to say I also need the backing plates for a 71 if anyone has them available.

    Or if they can tell me if a 70-73 Mustang backplate would work I think I can get two of them.

    AFAIK from around '66 brakes for 8" FIVE lug are mostly same.

    Some applications used wider shoes(requires matching back plate), though that's mostly sta wgn & Ranchero

    Contact Craig Selvey, he can probably help.
