Need 1971 rear drum backing plates...Help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Have a nice 1971 C10 (12 bolt/drum brakes) rear end to swap into my 1968 SWB C10 truck to make it 5on5.
Trouble is the backing plates are toast (holes in them from rust or excessive sandblasting). I want to install new ones rather than stripping the old ones off my '68 rear end (they aren't perfect either).

Do any of you guys know where I can buy new ones? I have tried Ecklers, Classic, POL, Advance Auto Parts, LMC....no luck.

Somebody must make them. Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance. Tom
