OK, I think I’ve got it,

I knew about the spindles being different and that you can buy an adapter kit for hydraulic backing plates and a bearing spacer to use later model drums. The backing plate bolt pattern needs to be modified to use the kit. I was not sure if you could use the hydraulic backing plates with 36 spindles and 36 brake drums. Sounds like there might be a compatibility issue with the 36 drums using hydraulic backing plates even if you have 36 Spindles?
