It depends on what year front axle you're using. I do know that 49 - 54 Chevy car front hubs (5 on 4 1/2") fit right on to 55 -59 Chev / GMC pickup front axles. As for rear axle, there are lots of choices depending on the bolt pattern and width you want for your application.

What vehicle are you talking about ? [S More input needed...
