GM Drum brake hubs
Hi, I'm looking for drum brake hubs from an 67-69 F-body or 64-72 A-body or 68-74 Novas. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

Check over at Kore3 site, they have aluminum ones already set up to fit Corvette rotors.
Might be easier than finding old stuff.Lee Abel

the old GM steel hubs are good but retain heat as a drum brake hub the heat was distributed to the drum, backing plate to the spindle or rear axle and so on...as a disc hub the heat has less areas to go and they heat soak more..... for everyday street stuff its OK but when you autocross or track day it superheats the bearings and breaks down the grease creating early bearing failure and shorting the life of the bearing and spindle.....just for thought...the aluminum ones are much better
