If you are talking about using the Buick brake assemblies; Hot Rod Works in Idaho sell adapters to fit them to Ford spindles. '58-'60 brakes if I remember right. You have redo the center hole and drill the backing plates to match the spindle. You will still need to fit the Buick drums to '46-'48 Ford outside flange hubs as described in the earlier post.

Probably would make more sense to use Boling Bros reproduction Lincoln brakes now-a-days instead of the Buick backing plates.
