Mud and Brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wasn't sure where to post this:

I've just finished painting my frame and moving to the rear axle. I have about 2" of caked mud/dirt all over the backing plate. I have the axle cleaned and sanded but not sure how to get this caked mud off. Any ideas?

Also curious, I am on a tight budget... is it necessary to replace my drums when rebuilding the brakes? the truck is a 1967 and its been sitting for about 10+ years.

Is there anything else I need to do to the rear axle before calling it done?
