I'm working on an idea and need to know what the diameter of a 1959 1 Ton hub center is, and the diameter of the hub itself. This is the bare hub with the drum removed. I appreciate any help folks, Thanks.

GM# 3683232 is for single wheel equipped trucks.
GM# 3778367 is for dual wheel equipped trucks.
Not sure how much different they are, but did see that the books do not provide hub dimensions. Hopefully a fellow one ton owner can measure and provide the details you need. 😉

Or for the matter the center hole of the brake drum. For what I am thinking it shouldn't matter if it's single wheel or dual.

I just found a 1 ton axle stashed away, with drums and brakes on it. I can take some measurements tomorrow if you still need dimensions.
