In have excellent condition fronts from a 70 Road Runner if any interest. I'll have to disassemble them though as they are still holding all the brakes & hardware.

I will remove everything & get pictures to you, but it may not be until tomorrow. I think they're in very good condition, but we'll see.

I got the chance to get these cleaned up yesterday afternoon. They are in excellent condition with only very minimum wear on the brake shoe pads, as you can see. They were greased up with good white grease when new shoes were put on. The upper pin that the springs attach to on one is slightly bent but, I never had an issue with it. You could heat it up with a torch & straighten it if you want to but not needed. $150 sent to you via USPS flat rate. P.S., I bought the car from the original owner's son & it was always well kept.

OK.

I just remembered that you could fix your backing plates by MIG welding the shoe pads & then grinding or filing them flat. I've done this before & it works great. The weld will be harder that the backing plates. Yours probably had them worn down because they weren't greased good (Good, thick white grease is what I use) every time the shoes are replaced. Just my 2 cents.
Can you please give a little more information. What model car do you have?, also 11” by what size? The plates differ by the width of the shoe. I may have some
