In addition to that little example of amateur genius, you'll noticeurn loose that the studs are still sticking through the backing ring on the left. That's because they had been welded to the ring. No idea why. Which is why I figured all four should be replaced. And because I wasn't being careful with the sledgehammer, now I need the hubs too. I know we'll be able to find them somewhere, just a matter of making it fit within the budget...

There is a good chance that someone who is swapping to 5 lug hubs or someone going to an independent has good drums and hubs that they will turn loose of reasonably and are close enough so you don't have to pay shipping but just drive a few miles. Tell the wife that you want to take her for a ride but have a stop to make along the way.
