backing plate

[PowerstrokinIt F250]

im doing a complete overhaul on a 96 f250 7.3. brakes never worked right and long story short, i found out someone didnt put the springs together right on the left rear and everything crushed together and it snapped off the backing plate where the e brake arm, and self adjuster cable are. They welded it back together and its a complete mess. Ford dealer says they discontinued the backing plate for these trucks. ive tried everywhere and the local junkyards dont even wanna check unless i agree to but a whole rearend! any ideas??

rear disc conversion?

do they make a kit for that? where do they sell them if you know of any?

here a link to the place that i know of. but there is a diy way of doing it also
Ford Rear Disc Brake Kits for 9", Dana 60, Dana 70 and Sterling

well that would be nice but id rather not dump 500 into the brakes if i dont have to, is the diy way less expensive?

So you need just a backing plate? I should have one laying around somewhere.

i did the rear disc conversion. tsm manufacturing makes one and so does blackbird custom trucks. you could also build one yourself. if you need a backing plate i have one too

Yes the ford dealer has all other parts which i bought already. if either of you wants to sell your backing plates please private message me i really need to find one soon. thanks guys
