Hey All, I'm Looking to see if anyone has a front wheel hub for my 65 for sale. If In/Near California even better! I can't find one nearby and I need if severely for my daily. Thanks!

i couldn't be further from cal but i have them if you can't find any.what is wrong with yours?i would need something to keep the parts car rolling.jc

AtomicMyke

The One I have spun a bearing and just decimated the hub.

Is the hub part of the drum? Also, Is one off of a 66 Olds 98 the same?

jcdynamic88

i would consider the drum to be part of the hub altho they can be separated .to my knowledge they are the same.your spindle didn't get damaged?c

AtomicMyke

No I was extremely fortunate that it Come out relitively un scathed, thought if I had to drive it any long that might not have been the case

The problem then becomes if you need the drum on/with the hub... pricey shipping, and finding a drum that isn't beyond use.

AtomicMyke

Is it possible that a 65 impala hub would interchange with mine?

Charlie Jones

No

AtomicMyke

Is there a difference in the spindles?

Charlie Jones

The hub is different because the bolt pattern on the Olds is 5" on5 . The Chevy is 4 & 3/4" on 5. the inner wheel bearings are different too so I would have to say that the spindles would be different too.
Maybe someone with a Hollender interchange manual will chime in and can tell you what else might interchange.
Olds, Pontiac and Buick shared little chassis parts interchangability with Chevy in full size cars before 1971.

AtomicMyke

Ahhh I See, well I appreciate the information. Thank you

So, Mike as we talked yesterday. Hub/and drum. I will pull one for you today and inspect it as we discussed.

Per Hollander there is an early and a late hub size. One is 1 25/32" Early, and the late is 2 5/64" So make sure you check that and I will too.

My car has a build date of 04A so most likely a late. But, as I said I will check today.

Still in need of an early hub/drum for a '65 with the 1-25/32" spindle size.

oldolds88

AtomicMyke

wonderful, thank you

oldolds88

build date on mine is 08C, didnt have time to get the wheel off to measure,so i took the date from the tag

AtomicMyke

Ok, the date code on mind is 01B, however I don't remeber what month it was that the change in hub size occurred

oldolds88
