Not a good idea. Save up the money, do it right.
Your truck will thank you.
So are you saying no to drilling axles or just the brake drums?
A little background on my truck. My dad bought it in the 60s and I have had it since the 70s. Dad put a set of E/T torque-thrust style wheels on it and they have been all I have ever known the truck to have. I know I have Tim cringing as he is more of a "purist" than I am but I want to keep the wheels. They have been on with a set of 6 bolt to 5 bolt adapters all these years and I want to do it right. I bought the car front hubs and drums but the rears will be a little tougher as I want to keep the torque tube rear end. I thought I could probably weld and re-drill the axles and assumed at this point the car drums would be a direct replacement. I am looking for advice or experience from someone who has crossed this bridge before.
