I have heard that it is possible to use the stock 59 1/2 ton spindles and swap the hubs and drums with a 53-54 chevy car. What else is required for this swap? I have converted the front bearings from ball to the later style via Golden State Truck Parts Front Bearing Kit. Can I still use the bearings with a 53-54 car Hub? Do I need to get 53-54 backing plates and brake shoes/springs or can I just get by with the hubs and drums? Please let me know the best way to do this I really want to convert to 5 lug without having to go the disc brake thing. PS for the rear I will use a 72 chevelle 12 bolt.
Thanks, Bill | | |
