I could use some help identifing these front backing plates with 12" drums.

They look like Lincoln because of the stepped wheel cylinder size?

Anyone know the years they fit?

Thanks Mark

Lincolns used Bendix design brakes. Fords used the 12" Lockheed type as pictured.

Thank you for your replies, I found some information at Joblot. 1940 was the only year Ford had a cast 12" drum without a hub. This is the later drum and hub, I turned it over and looked inside.

Thanks to all, Mark

Hub and drum are 2 pieces but the studs are swaged over like a rivets and they do not come out easily.

You should find 01A cast in the back of the hub.
