Front Hub Change

Hello boys and girls! I have the front axle from a 1949 Ford F1 truck that has hydraulic brakes and lug spacing of 5 x 5.5. I would like to change to Chevy hubs that have 5 x 4.75 spacing. I know that I can buy a disc brake conversion for this application -------- BUT, I would prefer to stay with drum brakes. Does anyone know of a bolt on hub change that would give me the 1. hydraulics, 2. drum brakes, 3. 5 x 4.75 lug spacing?
Thanks for the attention. Perley

 

You should be able to redrill your hubs and drums to the Chevy bolt pattern. Friend of mine recently redrilled his F1 hubs and drums to late for 5 on 4.50 without any problems.

 

Don't know if the center hole in the Chevy wheels is big enough to clear the spindle snout on the Ford hubs.
