'65 Valiant. I'm sure I read on here that wider shoes on the rear gave a wider track, as the width was added "outboard." However I just discovered that the distance between back plates on my newly acquired LBP, 2.5" shoe equipped, rear end is shorter than on the SBP rear end by at least 2 inches. Normal?

1963-1972 7 1/4" A-body backing plate to backing plate = 53.200"

1973-1976 7 1/4" A-body backing plate to backing plate = 51.400"

So yes,if you have a 73-76 a-body 7 1/4" A-body rear it is narrower from bp to bp.
All other dimensions are the same.

Get this book it will help you big time.

Take care.

You read wrongly. The drum-to-drum width is the same, but the housing itself is shorter to accommodate the wider brakes.
