    does anyone know where to find the hubs for front drums on a 64 c-10. I can't seem to find them anywhere only the drums. My bearing races are spinning in the hub. If i cant find them i guess i'll have to scrape the pennies together and go disc. Do i have to run a booster with discs or is the stock master cylinder ok?

    If it is an origional drum the drum is riveted to the hub and comes apart as an asembly. It is okay to drill out the rivets they are just there for factory assembly. To run disc brakes you will need to change to a disc/drum master cylinder. A booster is not needed but recommended.

    Booster is completely optional, except for frail persons, IMHO. :D

    I think I missred the question. I don't think they make new hubs for drum brakes. Check the bone yard and see if some one here has a good pair stashed away somewhere.
