    I have a 37 rear under my 32 sedan. I bolted on 46-48 rear backing plates and brakes, 5x5 1/2" hubs, and NORS outside mount drums. Had the drums trued to the hubs.
    But, You would need the support rings to run wire wheels.

    Sure, but would probably cost quite a bit to ship...from Canada.

    Some people prefer the 39-41 backing plates because they have four adjustment points each, and some people prefer the 42-48 backing plates because they only have two points of adjustment each. Make your own choice.

    Not sure if it's worth much.... rusty...no square bolts...but all complete... CAN take pics if you really want...
    They were taken off with a proper puller...not a hammer ;)
