68 Penton - rear backing plate I.D.

Hi, could someone please tell me if this is the correct rear backing plate / brake plate, for a low frame number '68 steel tanker ? But also even if it is correct, I'd like to buy one in better condition. I appreciate the help.

Hi Rob,

   I just took a look at #15 and I would say they are a match. I will make a note to look for one the first of the week when I get back to the shop incase you still need one by then.

Paul,
Thanks, I'm glad to hear it's the right one at least. Hope to talk with you soon.

Bob,
 
   I took a look today and so far have come up empty handed in finding the correct backing plate. I will keep looking but not sure I will find that early of one. I would think that other makes might have used the same one as well, but I am sure you are also hot on that trail...

Paul, I reconditioned it, that part is all set now. Thanks.
