84 monte 9" rear conversion

Anyone know of a cheap solution for the 4.75 gm axle bolt pattern for the brake drums. Fords are 5x5.5 so I can't use my drums from my 9"

i drilled my drums for the chevy pattern.

Ok so what are you using ford axle or gm?

 

[496kid]

i have aftermarket axle's in mine.

Goin with the moser 28 spl 9in axles cut to fit the g body housing. And they come 5x5.5. Should I just say screw it and use the Ford pattern Nd get new rims?

 

[496kid]

the moser axles should be drill for chevy and ford bolt pattern.i would ask if they would drill it for you.

 

[Dugan]

The axles aren't the problem the brake drum is. I was just wonder what's best, going with 5x5.5 axles/drums and getting new rims, or going 5x4.75chevy axles keeping my rims but then having to get custom drums made with my axles

i drilled the factory drums for the chevy pattern.

Yea that wouldnt be too bad, i wish i still had a drill press mine took a sh*t. Just wondering what did u do to get the initial measurements to get your first few points to drill i know theres prob an easy way and im overthinking it

I was gonna punch out the studs in an axle and use it as a template and just drill.. im guessing thats the easiest way
