1969 C10 Front Drum Hubs

[danpomeroy]

Hi,

OK, I know it's been a while (long story that no one wants to hear) but I am making headway.

I have to replace a front drum so I am doing both, along with the bearings. (can't afford a disc swap right now) The drums they sold me don't have the hub assembly. That is where I am stumped. It looks to me like I have to grind a few rivets off to get the assembly off the old drum.

My questions are...

1. Do I have to replace the rivets or will the wheel studs be enough?
2. If they have to be replaced, what do I search for on brothers, or lmc, or wherever?
3. Also... is there a guide online? I searched and didn't find anything.

I do appreciate all the help this wonderful place has given me. I am actively working on my build.
