Thought I had a '51 Chevy truck straight axle. Bought a disc brake kit for a '49 - '57. Problems arose when I tried to put the adapter on the spindle to accept the rotor. The adapter has an i.d. of 1 .250", and my spindle is 1 .125". Do I have an earlier axle than what I believe, or what? Any help is appreciated. (is it possible to put a bushing on the spindle? The outer bearing fits.)
get the kit for the axle you have, maybe? It sounds like it's an earlier axle. Pictures help, of course.
No I think he is correct in that he has earlier spindles. I am dealing with that right now on my roadster project. One of my friends gave me and axle out of a Chevy pickup and everything is right except that the spindles are smaller on the inner bearing area. Luckily for me the spindles on a junk dropped axle I have are correct and I'll use them.
