Studebaker Truck Brake Drum Help

I went to NAPA and bought 4 -76 Chevy 1/2 ton 11" rear drums.

Next what needs to be done is machine your Stude hubs to match the center hole in the Chevy drums.

SEE PICTURE BELOW

It is important to have as close a fit as possible. The Chevy drum will mount to the outside of the Studebaker hub.

I used my brake lathe for mine but any machine shop could do it for you.

Then with your drum on the hub. You can drill and tap thru the drum and hub for a counter sunk head machine screw if you feel it is needed. I did not do this on mine and don't really see a need as long as the drum fits tight. You can buy plain or finned drums as pictured. I am including a picture of a hub that I machinedand a picture of one installed on my Champ.
