Is it possible to use an axle or all the hardware from the backing plates out from a TF 3/4 Ton? Those drums are still available, are they not? My next suggestion would be to use an 8 to 5 bolt adapter in the rear and a 1/2 Ton axle in the front. This brake drum problem with the older 8 lug trucks is a real problem.
