I am swapping rear ends and don't mind the current brake system. I have found a fellow bolter with the above mentioned parts and I am not sure if those parts would work.
Any help is appreciated.

| | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Chris, I'm 99% sure that the '39 1/2 tons ran 6 lugs. In fact I think even the Chevy cars back then had six lugs. You better check those parts out carefully to make sure what they are. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | The only way the '39 has 5-lug hubs is if someone converted it. But its likely the parts that converted a '39 can also be adapted to convert the '55 1st.
One caution. '36 Chevy cars had a one-year-only 5-lug bolt pattern. It doesn't fit anything else, and you'll want to be certain you're getting 5 x 4.75 hubs and not something else.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |
