Thank you!!! I believe I have a plan for how to do this. Thank you for the help.

I believe the drums are the same size as passenger cars from the same year. One drum measures 12.25" ID which I believe is beyond use. The other measures 12", which I think is nearly new spec. I had hoped to re-use the hubs and buy one new drum. It sounds like I may have to bite the bullet...

5 x 5.5. I swapped out the fairly worn rear diff for a ford 9”.

Thank you. That is exactly what has been done. I didn’t recognize it for what it is. The original lug bolts are cut off flush with the outside of the drum and new holes drilled and lug bolts installed. If I want to save the hubs and re-stud on the original bolt pattern, do you have any advice...

Good afternoon, i have a 1947 ford 1/2 ton pickup that i need a new brake drum for. it has the square back spindles and the hubs are on the inside of the drum with a 3.25" hole. All seems normal and stock But the bolt pattern is 5 x 4.5 instead of 5 x 5.5 that most places sell. Any idea on...
