I don't know about articles on the rears but I would imagine the complication would be the emergency brake hardware. As the owner of two vehicles with the Huck style brakes, I can't imagine why one would want to bother changing them out.
One reason is that you can get Bendix parts from most local auto stores (so I'm told). I actually need a piston, for some reason one of my cylinders only had 1 piston when I got the truck, no wonder the fluid was dry in that reservoir...
But now I'm stuck until next week if I don't make the piston as I don't think I can get a Huck 1-1/4" piston.
I don't think the emergency brake is the issue, but the plates being able to mount and be centered on the axle. I'm told the plates are quite different on the Bendix rear plates, but have not compared them up close.
I can get an old piston on ebay if I want to wait, or I can turn one on my lathe. I think I might give that a go tomorrow. Why? Because I can.
Seriously, seems like a fun little project inside, covered from the rain.
