Hello,

Just bought a 70 C-10 2wd pick-up to play around with and it has horrible brakes and began to check the brakes. The short story version is the damn driver side front brake drum was rivited to the front hub, WTF?!?! The rivit seemed to be factory, but I have no idea why.

I realize I have not worked on alot of old cars, but why would the hub be rivited to the brake drum and how common is this?
