The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline 46 1/2 ton front disc conversion

I haven't done this to my '46 yet, but I did a disc conversion on a '67 Dodge pickup recently that had swedged lugs on the stock drums. I carefully ground off the heads of the lugs on the inside of the brake drum and pushed the studs out from behind because I didn't have a swedge cutter. The swedge is only on the threaded side of the stud, the inside is just a flat head.
