You mention "spending the BIG BUCKS...." ! You only need to spend about $400 on the two front backing plates. The old Ford drums work with the Bendix brakes. The rear LOCKHEED brakes work just fine in conjunction with the Bendix fronts. You MAY need to properly size the M/C to work with the Bendix brakes. DD
