| Can you use later backing plates and drums on the rear of a Barndoor? Are there any substatutes of brake shoes? Drums? |

If you swap the stub axles out for the later style you can install later drums and backing plates. |

| will any stub axles work? or only small nut style. Are all stub axles the same ratio? Are there better ones for highway speeds? |

don't know if this helps, but here's all the stub axles. This is in hazetguys gallery and he lists all the sizes and ratios as well. BD is the short one.

| sort of out of my realm of knowledge, but I don't think you'd want to mess with the gearing in the RGB. If you want better highway gearing you'll need to rework the center section (i.e. freeway flier). |

| its a 1950 bus...find the correct gearbox...pull it apart clean it and put it back together...highway mileage and top speed should not be of any importance... |
