Rear brake question
Does anyone know if the rear brake backing plates, drums, and brakes from a '70 Torino 8" rear end housing will fit on a '57 Ford station wagon rear end housing?

Re: Rear brake question
I don't know the answer to your question but I would assume the answer is "no". If I remember correctly the '57 has a 9" rear end. I guess if you had the parts readily available you could try a fit up. I'm thinking you would have to get parts for a 9" rear to get a good fit up. BTW - same rear used in '57 full size cars and Thunderbirds. You might find parts compatible if you broaden your search parameters.

Re: Rear brake question
I'm thinking they will fit. I know that the backing plates on a '65 mustang 8" are a bolt on a '57 housing

Re: Rear brake question
I will find out when I finally get to that part of the project. Did I see somewhere that the mustang 8" axels will fit in the '57 9" housing are is my memory failing me again?

Re: Rear brake question
The 57 rears and the 65-66 Mustang rears were the same length so you might be in luck. As far as spline, diameter etc, I don't know if they are the same. There were two different 9 inch rears in 57, the big bearing and the small bearing. Bigs were used in wagons and sedan deliveries, the small in the rest of the cars if I got it right.. I think the TBirds had the big bearing.
