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

 

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?

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

No

 

Is there a difference in the spindles?

 

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.

 

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.

So as soon as you find out let me know, I have one off and ready.

Thanks

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

 

ill check the 65 i have tomorrow

 

wonderful, thank you

 

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

 

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

 

let me see if i can get the thing off today between raindrops
