Weld up the backing plate

[1964C10]

I just finished cleaning my rearend and found out that the tabs on the backing plate that "support" the brakes (6 points) have some serious grooves worn in them probably about a 1/16 deep and I am afraid that the brake shoes will get hung up and cause bad braking problems. So I was thinking about welding up the tabs and grinding them flat. Has anyone ever attempted this? I just dont have the time to find new ones and take my rearend apart to swamp them out.
