Front Disc Backing Plates - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Do the backing plates off of the Square Body K5's work on the 1st Gens? Or does anybody sell them for ours. I am getting ready to upgrade my hubs and repack the wheel bearings and want to replace mine. They are rusted out.

Meaning the dust/gravel shield behind the rotor?
If so, I know nothing on compatibility on the K series
but have heard many members don't even run them on their 2wd
trucks. I do know, the 2wd '71-'72 were way different from the
square body trucks.

It may be that the 4wd trucks would be different from era to era as well.

No repops for 4x4 that I know of.
You might want to place a WTB in the classifieds.
