ebruns1 Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Fellas, Following up on my post about if the '49 Ford Shoebox rims would fit on our mopar hubs...it was mentioned that the 46-48 mopars only came with lug bolts and not studs. Here's a photo of the drums I just had resurfaced (minimal) that were on the car. Do these look like an aftermarket drum, a later year drum scavenged for my car (if that's even possible), or pressed in studs on original drums to make it easier to change tires? I took this quick photo before work this morning and I did not have time to look for a locating pin to see if it had been knocked out or cut off. From what I remember I didn't think I saw any evidence of the pin...but when I get home I will wire brush them and clean them up a bit so I get a better idea. These are both front and rear like this...so I doubt the rear was swapped. What do you guys think? PS - After dealing with the pins on my 1937 International PU, unless it was a show car I would never leave the pins in and would convert all my drums to studs.

DonaldSmith Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 No locator pins are used on drums with studs. Line up the wheel holes with the studs and push the wheel home. A locator pin is for drums that receive bolts, so that the wheel and drum have the holes aligned for the bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Whoever said 46-48 D-24 came with lug bolts was wrong....you're car came with studs pressed in from the factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My all-original 39 IHC D-2 has lugs on all 4 hubs. IHC's are SOOO much fun to find and buy parts for! Not to mention cheap,if you are Bill Gates.

That means it would have the same sized brake shoes as the lighter Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Dodge manufactured in the USA generally used drums with the flat flange and studs. The wheels also had a different offset. The same car manufactured in Canada used bolts like the Plymouth Desoto and Chrysler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Knuckleharly, my DeSoto Suburban should have 12-inch drums. 11-inch for the smaller DeSotos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
