Rear Brakes on a Banjo

Posts always come up on front brake swaps but what about the rears? Getting ready to put a 47 open drive into my 40 banjo and was wondering what if any were the options. I would prefer to change it over to a Bendix type. I know where there are some 53-6 F-100's and a post war Lincoln. Or should I just keep the 40's. Thanks for any help.

 

Well, I ***ume youve not converted to late-style splined axles, so the tapered axles are going to dictate what youre doing. Youll be limited to the 12"ford/lincoln drums so youll need 12" brakes with shoes 1.75" wide(or 2" with Lincoln drums). The 12" bendix '39-48 Lincoln or the ?-? F-250 backing plates with narrower shoes will work, but its prolly not worth the trouble. I just stick to the '46-48 ford floating Lockheed style in back with Lincolns in front for mine.

 

Thanks Homer. I'll prolly get those Lincoln brakes then.
