Front disc brake backing plates

HI,
I'm wondering if someone can help me out. I restoring 86 gmc k30 4x4 dually with a Dana 60 front axle. The backing plates are rusted and I'm looking to replace with new. I tried calling some companies that deal with axles, and they do not have them.Any help would be appreciated.

Toss them and forget about 'em. Nobody I know makes a replacement. Once they rot off they're done

Look at military surplus since that dana 60 was used in the cucv you might find them new or used in good shape.
