57-59 front brake backing plates (12" bk)

[Philippe Courant <accf-club@xxxx>]

Hi all,
Following a post from the 300 list about front backing plates (12" 
brakes), i reply to the sender because i found some unknown (from me) 
informations when i crossed some parts lists: It sems that there was a 
change during 1957 about backing plates. I don't know why, i don't know 
if "up to" and "after" interchange, etc..
Rather than reply to all who need infos, i've posted a table on my site, 
let me know if you've other informations (i've the two Imperial models 
but i haven't checked if they are "visually" the same) There are also 
some oddities ("early 300C" had "early" chrysler plates, "late 300C" had 
"late Imperial" plates ! "early" Chrysler wagon had "early Imperial" 
plates, "late" had "late chrysler" ... ).

PS: i don't have the 55-59 "thick" mopar part list so if you can verify.
