RECRUITS read here:
i need measurments of the center hub of 9" drum rears. if you have a 9" drum rear and meet the other qualifications in my GD thread , please continue.
i am workin on a 5lug swap for a slightly off beat axle combo. i am hopin ranger drums will fit my application w/o additional machining. i am certain they will fit other than the center bore, jus lookin for some confirmation on hard numbers before i walk into the parts store and buy a pair.

- remove a rear wheel from your ranger
- measure the diameter of the hub protruding from the center of the drum
- report back in this thread with the year of your truck and the diameter of the hub

and if your gonna use a mustang axle why not get one with rear disk brakes? and why downgrade from 10 inch drums to 9?
my head hurts now.

cause its not going on a mustang, its an older thunderbird
and 10inch brakes would be disproportional with the 10inch brakes up front

- i didnt originally specify what axles i was using because i didnt want to muddle the situation with questions about what im building. i only needed measurements, then we can talk about it, if it works
- i said im using mustang axles, as in shafts, not a complete rear axle
- its not a downgrade when the car im adapting currently uses 9" drums
- im not using rear discs because the application and intended use dont necessitate the extra work or money involved to properly set up the master cylinder and prop valve for a balanced four wheel disc system
anybody got a measuring tape and 5 extra minutes? id measure it myself if i had access to a truck to measure, i know someone here has a 98+ with 9" drums
