Found! Backing plates needed

[smudvapor]

I am rebuilding my Ranger and I need a set of backing plates for a 1983 7.5 rear end. Does anyone have a set? I'm kind of stuck until I locate a set. Thanks.

I think the bolt flange is the same between the 7.5 and 8.8 (31 spline 8.8 is different).

I looked a bit ago and the 9 inch brake backing plates were readily available and not to bad for price. The 10 inch brake plates were available but a bit pricey.

I will have to buy new shoes and drums as well correct? I already bought the other ones. Where did you see the 9 inch backing plates?

Okay, I think I have it figured out, I ordered the backing plates. Thanks for your help.
