: Hub with drum brakes

I still have drum brakes on the front of my '69 (yes, I know, they should be disk, but I'm a starving college student right now). Anyway, the hub on the passenger side is quite old and the inside bearing has partially eaten away at the inside of the hub, so that the bearing seat is slightly loose inside the hub. It's causing the car to pull to the right, and will cause worse stuff soon I'm sure.

I'm trying to find a new hub. Any ideas where I could find one? I looked all over but I can only find ones for disk brakes, and I'm trying to avoid a junkyard. I've tried all the parts stores and poked around online but still no luck. Suggestions?

Thanks guys.

If a '66 hub is the same (should be), I've got two and you're welcome to them. Don't need them, converted to discs.
Just buy the ride.
An original AZ car too...it just made the trip east last Dec.

there are slight differences in the drum brake hubs from year to year. some of them use a wheel stud with a bigger knurl diameter.
i think they are interchangeable other than that.
