This may have been addressed before. Rebuilding the front spindle hubs on a 1951 3100. Between the flange that goes on the backside and the hub assembly, there is a gasket, that goes in between these before the wheel bolts are pressed in. What purpose would this serve?
Somebody somewhere (back in time) decided it needed this gasket.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

If you study the path of oil/grease from a leaky seal on both the front and rear hubs, you will see that the gaskets are to prevent oil/grease from wicking out to the brake shoes.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
