Default C-3 front hub

Do any of you know if the C-3 Vettes share the front hub with any other of the GM cars of that era. I did a little research and the front wheel bearings are the same on Impala, Chevelle, Firebird, Skylark etc. Just wondered if the front hubs were the same on other GM cars, and if they are would the hubs be different on drum or disc brake cars? Thanks for any info.

To the limit of my knowledge Bud, the Corvette hub is unique, and not shared with other GM products.

Other than buying a used one from Paragon, or other used parts supplier, VBP was in the process of manufacturing new ones, I can't remember if you had to use thier rotors with it.

Its the same in some cases, with no holes for the rotor attachment.
