front hub/brake drum interchange for B-4-B

[Bobacuda]

The front, right hub on my B-4-B is bad (innner bearing and cone will fall out if you turn it sideways). This got me to wondering what other hub/brake drums will fit my truck.

Will a Dodge car hub (same era) interchange?

Anyone got a Hollander's handy?

Thanks,

Bob

Restoring a 52 1/2 ton pickup. I have a parts truck (?53 or 54) I don't need the front hub or drum. Diameter is 11 inches. Will be willing to part with it.

What I do need is a rear drum for the 52 I am restoring. For some reason the lug pattern is a little different between my 52 and the clunker parts truck I have. Maybe the parts truck is a little heavier duty. If you are interested I could make photo for you to see if it would fit yours. I have either left or right side.

If you know where there is a rear drum which may fit my 52, I would appreciate the info.

1/2 ton trucks have a 5 x 4 1/2" wheel bolt pattern, and used wheel bolts.

3/4 ton trucks have a 5 x 5" wheel bolt pattern and used studs and nuts.

Also, as I recall, the 1/2 ton trucks have 10" brakes up front whereas the 3/4 ton trucks have 11" brakes.

I must have a 3/4 ton for my parts truck. Having no luck finding a 1/2 rear drum.

1/2 ton trucks have a 5 x 4 1/2" wheel bolt pattern, and used wheel bolts.

3/4 ton trucks have a 5 x 5" wheel bolt pattern and used studs and nuts.

Also, as I recall, the 1/2 ton trucks have 10" brakes up front whereas the 3/4 ton trucks have 11" brakes.
