1991 Explorer with bad backing plate Update

Need help I have A bad backing plate on my 1991 Explorer. :(
Today I went to replace the rear brakes and found the drivers side backing plate is bad. The Post at the top that the brake shoes rest on is about to fall off. Does any one know where to buy one or if I can buy one. I tryed searching web and can't find one, maybe im useing wrong name for it?
I'm going to try junk yard but i'm thinking they will not sell me just the backing plate. :usa:
 






junkyards will sell anything

aside form that, contact torrie @ fastfordparts.com they are a site sponsor and torrie rocks
 






The junks yards I been to here will not sell a part like that becase they want to sell the axle with all the parts on it. But I may get lucky.
 






Update

OK after some checking around the only way to get a backing plate is at the junkyard. I was lucky and found one for $50.
So I have the new backing plate on and have replaced the Bearings and seals on both sides.
Now I have a new question: :confused: Do I need to put Loctite on the Dif pin locking bolt? It looks like there was some on it when I removed it.
