Does anyone have any backing plates for the 2WD 8" rear? The part where the brake shoes and wheel cylinder attaches. The axle I got from the junk yard had rotted backing plates. I know you have to press the bearings off the axle shaft to get the plates off and I'm willing to buy the whole axle shafts if you do not want to disassemble them. I need two. Thanks!

Anyone?

 

I have a set .. but i'm sure shipping will bee the "killer !!!



.

 

Why would backing plates be expensive to ship? Unless you are shipping me the axles with it. Give me a quote to 13901 NY. Also can you post a picture? They have to be rust free or in very good condition.

Thanks, James

 

I'm in Canada ..

so go ahead an check out shipping yourself , and let me know if your further interested .

shipping from Penticton BC , Canada , V2A 3H5

I'm interested but I need to know if this is just the backing plates or the plates with the axles.

 

Slacker, I'm still interested.

Im going to have my whole rear end out of my truck here soon. You can buy it complete or I can sell you all the hardware stuff. its 1989 2wd. I have it for sale actually on the site. I'll sell the complete axle for 100 bucks or when I pull it out it about 2 weeks I can part it out.

 

Is it an 8"?

 

yep. G means 8 inch right?

 

Yes. Probably G882 code which is 3.07 gears. Could you get me a picture of the splines of the axle shaft? Their should be 30.

James

 

the axle is still installed in the truck and I drive it everyday. I'll see what I can do tomorrow when I get off work. ill try and tear it down for ya.

 

Ok cool.

James

 

If I gave the dealer the vin and asked for the axle, Do you think they could get me that info on the splines?

 

No, just take the axle shafts out and count. That way you would know what it is.

James

 

Alright. How soon do you need to know? I have sunday off so I should have most the day to do it then.

 

you can attempt to order a new axl shaft from the dealer and ask how many splines

 

I do not need it ASAP but I would like to get the ball rollin'. Sunday is fine if you have the time and yes it rhymes!

 

haha ok bud. I may just end up parting out that axle since no one on here wants it complete.

 

Yep theres 30. and no im not doing it again haha
