From what I understand, 1950 was the last year for the old style drum brakes, I think they are called Huck brakes, and I am guessing they are not self energizing.

Is that all correct?

Secondly is it possible to fit backing plates and brakes from a later year truck and retain the original 6 lug wheels, and original spindles / axels?
