Ahh yes! I may had forgotten that the slip on drums use different hubs and spindles. I knew the later factory disk spindles where shorter and used different bearing spacing than the pressed drum spindles but I had forgot the slip on drums used the shorter spindle too. Thanks for setting it straight! I went thru all this when I put the 01+ 10.5” 14 bolt factory disk setup on my ‘89 square body 14 bolt pressed drum rear axle.
