Need to replace the rear mechanicals on a 33 Terraplane with hydraullics. Anyone have a set they wish to part with? Thank you.

    Look for 1940ish smaller drums and backing plates.

    Years ago Al Muller put Jet brakes on his 33 T8

    I have 1939 brake front and rear components if you are interested.

    FWIW I've put hydraulic brakes on a 35. I looked at fitting later backing plates to the 35 back axle and decided it was easier to swap out the 35 back axle for a 36 hydraulic back axle. A 36 axle is 1.5" wider than the 35 axle but it still fits under the fenders OK. Going to the 36 back axle means you are into 5 stud wheels, but it also means that step-down brakes are an easy bolt on if you want to go that far.
