Look closely at the back edge of this Buck chuck:
I got a great deal (free) on a 6" adjust-tru with no backplate and found one with the same oversize condition you have. Rather than using the original holes in the backplate I rotated the backplate hole pattern and made my own mounting holes then filled the originals with JB weld. Once mounted on the chuck I turned the extra metal off leaving the exposed JB weld segments. That was about 15 years ago and I use the chuck nearly every day. Don't underestimate JB Weld.
