I need your help guiding me on this project. I am putting a 39 ford pick-up straight axle under my rat. It has wide fives on it, and I would like to run Model A style wire wheels in the front. Plan on keeping the 39 juice brakes. What do I need to get to make this wheel switch happen? Thanks for all your help.
 
'40-'48 hubs & drums will work with the '39 backing plates & spindles just fine. You will need a wire wheel support ring which helps the wires seat properly on the juice drums. They are available from a variety of suppliers.
