1968 Chevelle convertible with rear drum brakes. The right rear backing plate has rusted through. Anyone know where to go to get a new/different backing plate? Are these universal, or specific to the year/model?

I know Advance Auto stocks a few different backing plates. I'm sure you can get them from various resto parts houses too.

head to a junk yard- pretty much any Chevy car with light duty rear drum brakes has a backing plate that will work.

Ground-Up has new G.M. backing plates, left and rt. side, for $50.00 each...

Those are actually still available from a dealer last time I checked.
