Good day, does anyone know where I can find front wheel hub for a 1970 Dodge Dart, 9" drum brakes? This seems to be one of the only parts that I can't find on any restoration sites or dealers. Thank you.

You will have to go used. If no one on here responds try Ted Stephens Performance
Or WildCat Auto Wreckers. Both deal in used parts.

Start a parts wanted thread.
 
New hubs were never sold separately by anyone. The dealer sold them as a hub and drum assembly, but, long since discontinued. Find a used one. Just make sure to check the tightness of the bearing races. It's very common for the outer race to have spun in the hub. Once it does that, they're pretty much junk unless you want to spend a fortune to weld them up and machined back to the proper specs. The hub and drum assembly from 1960-1972 will fit even though some years may look a bit different. Some '70 models, and the '71-2 9" drums were finned, whereas the earlier ones were smooth. They'll both work though, but, I would use a matched pair, as, they will fade at a different rate when hot and might cause the brakes to pull to one side.

Thanks. That explains a lot. I began this project three years ago, but it was put on pause. I had removed the hub to replace all of the brake parts and I've misplaced it in my dad's very cluttered garage! I'm hoping to still find, but exploring options if I don't.
 
Where you located? These 9” ones came out of a 71 Dart and swapped out for discs, I’m in Minnesota but these are too heavy to ship, they need a new home!

I'm in NYC. All I need is one hub assembly. I do not need the backing mount, spindle, or the drum.
I'm still trying to locate my missing hub. If I can't locate it soon, I'll reach out and see if we can work something out. Thanks.

Would you be willing to disassemble the drum and ship me only the hub? This is what I have and the hub is what’s been misplaced. I also have new drums. Will pay for the hub and shipping. Thanks.
