Is this a 100% restoration rig? If not why not change the backing plates, hardware ,shoes and available drums? Rear disc?
I hope you figure it out, its been awhile and your missing some good drive time

I addressed the backing plate idea on the first page.
I've pretty much got this issue licked now. It just took me some time searching forums fishing for ideas. The Wagoneer drum looks like it's going to work out fine and with a minimal cost too. I got those drums today at O'Rielly's for $28.99 a piece and I'm guessing the machine work will cost me $50 to $60. The last time the drums were available for this GMC rear, they cost over $100 a piece. And btw, I've got this '65 GMC rear under my '57 Chevy 3200 pickup.
I'm not losing any time driving. I've got the cab off the frame right now and won't be ready for paint until later this year.
