Drums rivets
I just pulled old original drums off of my '69 C10 in order to drill out the rivets so my new wheels will fit on. My quesiton is after I drill out the rivets, can I just leave the holes there? Do I need to fill them with something before i put it all back together? Thanks.

Re: Drums rivets
i'm not 100% sure on these trucks, but had the same issue on my Vette when doing a brake job. The answer for that was they do not need to be replaced. Always wondered why they even put them on there. Only thing I could come up with is it had to do with the assymbly at the factory so the hubs didn't come off when it was going down the line.

Re: Drums rivets
You can machine the front drum on the bearing carrier if they are riveted and it give a more accurate drum, they do it on corvettes too, re-rivet the disc rotor then machine it. Normally not necessary though.
