    Just to be 100% sure I'm reading this write-up correctly.... I can use the 11" backing plates and parts from a drum-brake Dana 30 to swap onto a Dana 27? Right?

    That's what I used. From a '74 CJ-5 IIRC.

    Before you do the whole conversion, check to make sure your wheels will fit over the 11" drums.
