    Looking for a machine shop to drill out some Chevy front hubs so I can run 1/2" studs instead of the stock 7/16" Any suggestions for a good shop to use? I'm in Fullerton so close to there would be good.

    Check to see if 7/16 dont step down meaning that the hole is already the bore for the 1/2" and the threaded shank size is reduced.

    Try Sutton Engineering in Fullerton. I am sure that Ed can do this job for you.

    Not tryin' to hijack the thread just expand northward a bit.... Same question for Central Cal.
    Anyone know of a shop in the Stockton, Lodi, Sacto area that can redrill some Currie 9" axles for 5 on 5?

    BTW, I had Sutton Engineering in Fullerton narrow a rear end for me years ago. Good guy, good service. I'm glad to hear they are still around.

    Limeworks in Whittier can do the job. Ask for Steve. You need to have the studs for the machinist to measure on hand when you have them done. Basically, any machine shop can do the job if they want to. If you have a drill press you can do it.
