Changing The 49FL Front Tire From A 19 to A 21

Well nothing else going on, my trans seal is leaking on the 49 pan, so I thought I’d give the front end a new look.
I jumped on eBay and found a sweet deal on a 21in front wheel with timken bearing hub. It is an aftermarket model with a new looking rim. This unit came complete with the axle, an original polished side plate, axle sleeve, break shoes, springs and cam lever and chrome drum. Everything ready to bolt up and go. That made the buy-it-now price worth an email to the seller for a price drop of 25 bucks and he took it, so I bought the package, total $225. Shipping was fast and I recommend the seller lykinsaaron

Then I had to finish this with a new hub cap, I picked it up from











That 21 looks WAAAY better, Jeff!!
