I just picked up a Dana 45 rear end with 307 gears. I'm told it came out of a 58. The gear set says 11/57 43/14. I'm assuming the 11/57 was date of manufacture. The backing plate and brake drum has about a 1/2 inch offset inboard. The 57's are flat.
My question, will my backing plates from my 57 bolt on? That way I can use all my new 57 brakes and cables.
