i JUST joined this forum to ask questions about this very topic. i am building a little hot rod truck and am using what i was told was a 51 chevy front end. i later am finding out it is 50 or older.
i too was told to get 53-54 car drums to get a 5 on 4 3/4 set up in the front. i did but they wont mate up with my 49-50 backing plates.
my question for you guys, and bessie, will the truck backing plates from 51-54 work with my 53 car drums?
any help would be great. i have to drive this thing to austin texas in 4 weeks and would like it to stop!! thanks!
