i am looking to convert the stock rear end in my 56 chevy pickup over to 5 lug. Does anyone know if they make a replacement drum the same size as the stock one but with a 5 x 4 3/4" bolt pattern?
I know im going to need new axles but i was wondering if i could find a drum that is the same size as the stock one but with a 5 on 4 3/4" bolt pattern '
If you are looking for a drum only, 51-58 passenger car drums are the same as your stock drums, except for the center hole and 5 lug bolt pattern. If you are wanting 5 lug fronts to match your rears, a 51-54 passenger car hub and drum is a bolt-on. Ray
Thanks. I should have known they would work but i got to thinking and realized that my housing was 55 years old and it just wasent worth all that money so i picked up a rear end with 3.73's and a posi for like 500 bucks that im gonna throw in there.
