Technical ‘39 drums with ‘41 Ford backing plates?

Can I use 1939 Ford brake drums on a 1941 Ford?

 

The 39 wheel bolt pattern is entirely different than the 41.

Yes 41 backing plates are the same as 39’s

 

Thanks for the link and information. I have a set of ‘39 Ford wheels too. I’m really starting to like this style of wheel on a hotrod.

 

I kept the wide gives on my 1937 coupe for the early hot rod. I used 47 ford backing plates look
