11" Rear brake upgrade

I have started changing over to 11" brakes on my 1971 D44 flanged axle. I thought that I could grab some backing plates off any Wagonner D44 and put on CJ 11" drums. Guess not.
The CJ drums are not deep enough. I guess Wagoneer drums are deeper.
Anybody know what drums will fit this oddball setup?

 

cvlv2: use the backing plates and drums from the wagoneer (mid 1966 and up w/5 lug pattern) (self adjusting brakes). This is a "Bolt On" installation. Good Luck!! Glenn

 

Thanks! That helps confirm some of the reading I've been doing also. Looks like from what I've gathered the early waggies were 5 bolt from 66 - 73. I'll try and come up with a set of early drums. Only question left then is ... I think my backing plates came from a later model than that (It had six lug axles). Anyone know if the drums are all the same with the exception of bolt count?

 

Drums are not the same! Good Luck!! Glenn

 

You were right. I returned the drums to the parts store, and now I have to start my search for backing plates all over again.

 

Somebody has the whole kit $325 everything new.
R & P I think.
Guys a little help on this?

 

Yup, R&P. 503-557-8911. I think the price is a little cheaper than that unless you want the parking brake in the wheels. Check with Paul to confirm that though. Nickmil.

 

I am going to be doing this same upgrade on the front and rears of my '68. $275 for the front, $300 for the rear with the E. brake. Is this a pretty easy upgrade? From the posts and other info, says it is pretty much bolt on.
