Rear brake hardware
« on: November 19, 2005 - 11:31:34 AM »
I have a rear end supposedly out of a 70 Challenger.It is in a 47 Dodge.  It is missing the brake hardware,everything. What years and cars will work?  Thanks.

If it is an 8 3/4, then pretty much anything from an 8 3/4 should work, regaurdless of body style.  This probably excludes trucks, maybe some of the early stuff.  I am sure Chryco knows for sure.

the hardware kits are still available from Raybestos , there was a change in the shoes in the early 70s , some have a round pin for the park brake lever , others use a triangle slot & the lever just slips into place , the backing plates & entire drum system can be used from almost any diff , 8 1/4 - dana all fit as long as the drums have the 4.5" bolt pattern
