New today so maybe wrong place?I have a 1937 chevy pickup.When I got it in 1977 it had the 49-54 chevy car hub swap on the front.I am getting ready to try my first kingpin replacement and do the brakes over again.All I have done in all these years to the front is replace one hub.With out a brake in hand and long search at the part house can any one that did this swap in the old days tell me what I most likely need?I understand it may be a mix of 37 and 49-54 parts or is this just the bearing and the brakes are all 49-54 which I think they may be?Thanks for any help.
