66 Starfire Hubs

I've been working on my 66 Starfire and I'm having a hard time finding basic parts like hubs. Does anyone have any knowledge on any later models that are universal in parts to a 66 Oldsmobile Starfire? I need to replace the front hubs which are 5x5 lug pattern hubs. If anyone has any ideas please let me know thanks

Did you not like the answer I gave you a year ago? Again, the 1965-70 Olds full size cars use a unique frame, suspension, and brakes. NOTHING else interchanges. These cars are not popular enough for manufacturers to design, fabricate, and warehouse reproduction parts. Good used is your only option. Any late 65-70 Olds full size cars are donors (the early 1965 cars used unique front wheel bearings and those parts are even more difficult to find). Note that the hub and drum are held together by the wheel studs. You need to press those out first before trying to separate the two. Perhaps you can post a photo of the hub that is the problem, since it is extremely rare to need a new hub.
