I'm planning on converting my 1969 9" to 31 splines, and having a set of big bearing ends welded on so it can be done all at once.
Here is where I am hitting a stumbling block, when I change the ends, I know the the stock 10" brake backing plates won't bolt up. I know there are several different BB ends to chose from, which one would allow me to go to a pick your part yard and get the entire backing plate drum assembly from a car or truck in 1 shot. And yes I have looked for a BB bronco housing complete here with no luck. I'm sticking with drum brakes at the moment for low cost and bolt on vs higher cost and fab work for discs.
In simpler words, which easily available BB ends and drum brake setups will work with stock replacment 31 spline axles in a 69 housing.
Thanks in advance
