Three of my trucks original rims have elongated studs holes and am having trouble finding replacements that fit the 4.75” hubs. I’m wondering if the 5.25” hub from a 54 or later uses the same bearings and will fit on the 53? Would that be consider cheating on a restoration project? Also, the brake drums would need to fit existing shoes.
