12 bolt backing plate
 

Can you guys help me? I have been searching for a few days now trying to get a parts vendor for a new passenger side rear backing plate for a 12 bolt gm truck rear axle. I can't seem to be able to purchase one anywhere. Any help?

should be the same as 10 bolt other than shoe size and width . also parking brake cable style .

i know guys swap them a lot from 1 axle to other .

whats wrong with yours ?

it rusted through. I just need a new replacement one. The axle is out of i think a 1980 K10 but its going to a custom build (51 chevy 3100)

no they rusted out and got holes in them, need replacment ones.

Which BTW big shoutout to @1957Chief for sending me a pair of backing plates. The are a good fit. They will get a quick sanding, primer, and paint before installing. THANKS!
