Default What Year Are These Backing Plates

Trying to figure out what year these backing plates are. They were cobbled onto Model A spindles with spacers and had 60's era brake drums. A friend said he thought they were 64 65 Falcon/Mustang. Can anyone ID them for sure? Thanks Rod

They look like they could be about 1946 - 1948.

Look like early '50s Studebaker. Only brakes I have ever seen with that oddball "self adjuster" arrangement on the leading shoe.

They are definitely not early (Lockheed) or late (Bendix) Ford, but why even mess with an inefficient non-servo cobbled up unknown brake?

Just trying to figure out what they are so I can sell them. I have no intention in using them. I took them off of the A spindles yesterday while salvaging and sorting parts as I thin out my parts pile. Along with a 5 stud drum on one side and a 4 bolt drum with left handed threads on the other side. Rod

Rich b, Thanks for the Studebaker suggestion. Looks like they should bring about $40 each. Much better than the scrap iron suggestion at $35 per ton. That will go a little way in paying off med bills. It all adds up. Rod
