    Will the front backing plates and brake assemblies from 63 full size Buick fit a 61 full size Buick? I went to disc brakes and want to donate my parts to a friend that has a 61 since all the parts are new and backing plates are powder coated.
    Thanks

    1961 FULL SIZE BUICKS -- had two distinct wheel cylinder pattern -- one that has offset bolt pattern for the mounting of the
    wheel cylinders -- ad if it has that set up --then -- the wheel cylinders, brake shoes, and drums are ALL the SAME -- such that
    the backing plates should match up exactly.....

    If however, it is the 1961 design with straight across bolt pattern -- they will not -- of course, that isn't to say that you can't
    drill holes to accept the other design wheel cylinder.....

    so it should work since it has new wheel cylinders, brake shoes, springs and hose all new.
