9 inch to 11 inch drums, i mean 11 to 9?

I got a 73 parts jeep with dana 44 and 30, 11 inch drums. I'm gonna throw them on my m38a1. the problem is I don't want to leave that jeep incapacitated. There shouldn't be a problem throwing the 9 inch brakes from my m38a1 on my 73 cj5 parts jeep, just so i can roll it around if i had too?

 

Can't imagine you'd have a problem there.

 

reassemble the 73 without the backing plates etc;
just leave the 9" brake stuff off.
not needed for what you describe

 

If it runs, you can drive it in low range at a slow walking pace. To stop, shut off the engine.

Note I'd only trust this for a few hyndred feet at most, inside your level yard.

 

I never thought of either of those ideas. it dosn't have a tranny in it or a cooling system, but I could put in my tranny with a snapped tooth just for around the yard. I don't care if it self destructs, its junk.

so I could just put the spindles and bearings on and leave the backplate, brakes and drums off? are the spindles the same on both jeeps. thanks for the ideas. I like the sound of this.

 

the spindles might be the same
the OD of the wheel bearings will be different
the rear brake backing plates won't bolt up to the 73
