Are you needing brake backing plates or shock mounting plates?

backing plates, like I said in the original post.

Well I was going to say I have some but........

you can use 10" backing plates from a 7 1/4 (may need to drill one hole) but aside from that they are the same, U-bolts can be found at any auto parts store, or spring shop,

This only applies to the newer LARGE BOLT PATTERN 7 1/4 rear backing plates. The earlier A body SBP 7.25 plates are different. You can also use 8 1/4 backing plates from just about anything including trucks,b/c/e bodies, and of course, any 8 3/4 setup (except sbp A body)

Stock A body axles? Those will require the A body 8-3/4 backing plates.
Aftermarket axles with non a body offset can use any non A body brakes from 65 up.

U bolts can be had from MMR or Summit- you need 3" ID for a 8 3/4

I bought AFCO bolts and ARP 1/2-20 chromoly nuts/washers from Summit (pretty sure it was the 9.25" length one's as I will be trying to lower it or add Caltrac's down the road)
