the later model backing plates ( with the handbrake) have a differernt bolt pattern, but they can be made to fit, you also need to weld guides and brackets on the diff for the cable.
Its easier to find a rear diff from a late model with the correct housing and handbrake.40, 42, 73, 75 series cruiser will do.
