The hubs and drums from an early 50's Chevy car can be adapted by using car bearing on the outer end and truck bearings on the inner, or something similar to that. I don't recall the exact details any more. Its been more than 30 years since I did it on a '41 pickup and the AD trucks are slightly different.
The disk brake kits readily available use a similar approach. The outer bearing on the kit I bought is the car outer bearing, and actually came with the new rotors I bought.
The inner bearing came with the kit, as did a sleave that adapted the bearing to the spindle. I'd be surprised if there were a disk that would work without that sleave.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
