I look at this car wrong and it needs something else. I have the 8.5" 10 bolt out totally apart and partially cleaned up. This weekend while I was pulling the bearings I noticed the two brackets that hold the backing plate and brake cylinder to the axle housings are both what appear to be twisted. It probably has nothing to do with that one time in 2005 I launched with the parking brake on, and forgot to release the cable for the first 60 ft on a 125mph pass...
1. Leave it, it's not that bad and its just rear drum brakes.
2. Whack with 2# sledge.
3. Whack with 2# sledge then weld in some bracing.
4. Cut the axle housing and put on rear discs (running 17's) do Ford ends because c clips suck and the rearend is out so why not.
