Cool...thanks guys.

I promise....I searched and did not find an answer. At least any that gave me a confident feeling. I had my axles redrilled to the larger 4.5" pattern and the guy that did the job pulled the old bearings off and chucked them 'cause they were pretty shot. Problem is, obviously, I need a...

Great! Muchas Gracias!

Thanks, pictures are great. Just to clarify....you used 2" long 1/2"-20 screw in studs for the front as well as the rear?

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my questions. Cool to hear the rear axles come out in this manner! Wonder if the Ford trick would work with stubborn Dodge axles (flip the drum around and attach with a few lug nuts and use the drum as a slide hammer). Fronts should be easy enough...

Yeah, I understand the screw in studs making sense.....soooo you had the 9 inch front drums on your '66? Or maybe you have 10's but the hub part is the same? On the rear axles, because you need to weld a hole, you pulled the axles out? Are they c-clipped in like GM or do they have a...

72Dodge, I said "minus the wheels and tires" because of the infinitely variable costs for wheels and tires. I'm simply looking at the most affordable way to change out my bolt pattern to Ford/Mopar 4.5" on 5. Adapters are out as I don't want to throw the track out another inch on each side...

Yeah....just confirms what I thought. I've heard there is not enough meat to redrill the hub on these drums for a 4.5 on 5 pattern?

I have a '63 Dart and am looking at the Scarebird disc swap.....what's the total cost minus new wheels and tires of course? Kit and parts store brake parts etc.... what's the total cost appx? THANKS!

What years came with the 9 inch front drums I hear about? Lemmee guess....the 1963 model?

This is pretty awesome, Tony...I checked out this wheel and it's listed as 5 on 100mm. which is just shy of 4". Did they bolt right up(?) or did you have to "finesse" them a bit?

Thanks....that would make sense. I know Fords and Mopars shared 4.5" bp. I don't know why, now, but was thinking we were talking the SBP.

Awesome! Thanks for the SUMMIT info. Any wrecking yard 15 sbp wheels?

Bttt

Sooooo, is the 90's FORD Crown Vic bp 5 on 4"? Lemmee guess, the metric equivalent?! I'm looking for 14 or 15" skinny-ish wheels for my early A body Dart. I'm going to run moon discs so what they look like is secondary to all else.
