I'm working on a 62 Willys Pickup and want to upgrade the brakes from the old non-adjusting drums to self-adjusting drums.
I'm told I need 11" brake backing plates, that these are crazy hard to find, and if I do find them I'd have to buy a kit to convert them to self-adjusting.
I know that when I change the brakes, I'll have to get new rims.
I'm trying to make it safe for a 17 year old and a 70 year old to drive.
I'm clueless here.
Just removed my very first hub yesterday.
They are great folks on the other forum, but when I start getting too far into the weeds they tell me to take it to a professional to work on it. Am I too far in the weeds?
