Dually Hub

And that would mean your single wheel hubs would fit Jfnar's '57. To be sure I'd suggest comparing part numbers on all the brake parts because it might be necessary to replace more than the hub and drum, but also the backing plate, shoes and stuff.

Someplace like Rock Auto can be good for checking those kinds of numbers.
We where just mainly concerned with the front hubs. I kinda figured that the swap would require all of the componets backing plates ect. Probably be best if he just stripped all of his parts down to the spindle and I do the same with mine. He then could bring his parts over here and see if they would fit on my spindle. He dont live too far from me.
