Thank you all for clearing that up.
I suspect Bubba just used whatever to get it rolling again and on inspection, with rally wheels, it cleared ok and I didn’t notice any issues.
I will order a pair of rotors and try and find a hub.
Thanks for the links above.
Yes, shipping anything here sucks, but unavoidable.
One last question, as I won’t be riveting the rotors to the hubs, so will a 63-64 hub work ?
Or will a 69-82 hub work with a 67 spindle, with larger bearings ?
Thanks again Gents, very helpful info.

I'm pretty sure 63-68 hubs are the same, except that 63-64's do not have the 5 extra holes to rivet the rotor too. The same inner and outer bearings are used in the 63-64 and 65-68 hubs. I'd have to get into my parts books to be sure, but I thought the 63-64 hubs might have been the same as some or all 58-64 full size Chevy hubs? I'll try to check on this tomorrow.
Because of the bearing size you need to use 69-82 spindles with 69-82 hubs. While 63-64 spindles take the same bearings and hubs as the 65-68's, you can't use 63-64 spindles on 65-68 Corvettes because they're designed to use with a drum brake and have no provision to except the 65-82 caliper mounting brackets.

If full size cars use the same hub, I can probably find one locally and save a ton of money.
That would be great if you could check on that.
Thanks 🙏

I knew I had a 1933-1962 full line Chevrolet Parts Book and a number of Corvette Parts Books of varying vintages at the house, but I didn't realize I also had a Chevy full line book from the 70's here too, so I got an answer to this quicker than I thought I could.
According to my various Parts Books the 63-64 Corvette front is also the same part as all 61-66 full size Chevrolet's, 67-68 full size Chevrolet's with standard drum brakes and 61-65 Corvair Rampsides and Greenbriers (the Corvair pickups and vans). As I said above, the difference between this hub and the 65-68 Corvette hub is this one doesn't have the 5 rivet holes. The part number for the Corvette/full size/Corvair hub is 3812712. I don't have any parts books for other GM models, but this hub might have been used on 60's full size Pontiacs too.
Looking at the Corvette Parts Book, the 65-68 Corvette hub was never sold as a separate part, it was only ever offered as a complete assembly of the hub and rotor. The last part number assigned to the complete 65-68 assembly was 3998278. As near as I can tell this hub assembly was a Corvette only part.

Excellent info, thank you very much for the quick reply.
I can probably find one relatively cheap and try it first, worth a shot anyway.
Thanks again
Think I found one, I can’t find my verniers, but it’s supposedly off a 65.
Add says “small journal” so I’m guessing he means small diameter spindle, or pre 69 ?

Using the GM Partswiki, that number only seems to apply to Chevrolet. Not to say this is definitive proof, but the wiki usually returns Buick and Pontiac in broad searches.
