Default Re: 35 drums to 36

Rear drum/hubs are bolt on, '35 to '36 and vice versa. Using '35 front drums on a '36 with mechanical brakes, requires the use of '35 spindles. Now if you go with hydraulic brakes, the '37-'40 spindles, '39-'40 backing plates, and '40-'48 drums will also get you to a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. Depending on which drums and wheels you decide to go with will determine whether or not you need spacer/support rings between drums and wheels.
