1938 Truck Cable to Hydraulic brakes
Rebuilding my 3ton '38 and can get hold of '39 hydraulics. Using both front spindles & hubs from '39 can swap to front axle )38 cable brakes are larger diameter hub/spindle backing).
The '38 rear axle backing plate size to axle is 7" can anyone advise on the '39 hydraulic hub / backing being 7" and will fit and with same axle?? Issue is I am in Tasmania (smaller island south of Australia mainland) - parts are 1895 Kms / 1177 miles away on a station on the "mainland". Any foreseen issues if the sizes fit. Currently have everything stripped ready for the "big" rebuild. |

Sorry we're messing around on your thread, but maybe if we keep it near the front someone will know the answer to your question!

But with a major rebuild of the rear i would start by thinking about if it has a useable ratio. If not i swap in a complete axle from something more drivable...but its just me. |
