I've still got my 89 K1500 the backing plates are rusted through. I went to the aftermarket no one has a inexpensive replacement. GM & LMC are $300.00 per side. Any thoughts that can help. Thanks in advance.

Did you try a junk yard in town? Or look for a truck on Craigslist being parted out.

I agree with Racekid...Go to a junk yard. I don't use Craigslist, but I would definitely look on Ebay. And I will NEVER buy anything from LMC. The prices they charge, all of their $#!t should be gold plated. A set of Edelbrock TES shorties for my '91 Sub? LMC wanted $450. I got the exact same set off Ebay (Summit's store) for less than $350.
If you don't want to be crawling around a junk yard, start looking online, but I wouldn't expect a pair of backing plates to run you more than $50 at any pick-n-pull...Good luck!

I've been to the yards here. Rot seems to have gotten to them lol Ebay does have any I've been watching. Will keep watching. Thinking about selling the old girl. I recently bought a 98 K1500.
