We replace the backing plates with the 73 and up style. They are made a lot better and around here they are plentiful in the yards.

Re: front end parts ?
made a parts run today no one had any seals {orilie's or napa} went to the dealer nothing the had looked right there computer only went back to 73. he said they had a tech who realy knew his sh!t but was on a job they couldn,t pull him off for 10 min i'll try another. i bought the bearings at O'rilies then went to napa to get what they didn't have and found bearings there for half the money. was also surprised that the core charge was more than the calipers themselfs $17 vs $20 and rear break hose was $30 cheaper at Napa $16 vs $46 but fronts were $3 more each at napa$23 vs$20 but none of it is any good without the seals
