Brake swap
Hey, I have a 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook with the 10" brakes.
The rear brakes are completely shot.
I have a buddy with an entire rear end from a 52 Dodge automobile (not sure of the model).
It has 12" brakes. If I unbolt the entire brake assembly, backing plates an all, will they bolt o to my rear end?
Just wondering before I make a 3 hour round trip to go pick up the rear end.

i only know one thing. i tried to swap rear brakes from a 1957 new yorker to 1957 dodge pick up. the taper of the axle was different. i had the new yorker hubs re machined and then it was a bolt on. what you are tring to do will take a lot mixing and matching. dont forget to put anti-seize compound on ALL threads on the bottom, and dont miss the brake tube nut threads. after 80,000 miles you will be glad you did.
