Unless the local store is Speedway Motors. Nowhere..
Those old spindle axle pins are too long for regular modern hubs.. They must be shortened on a lathe. Re tapered and re-threaded. Then the cotter hole drilled..
While having this done, cut for Ford Granada, Volare(4 1/2") or Chevy Malibu (4 3/4") bearing sizes.
I have just bought the kit from speedway. There is a machined adapter for the inner bearing. This lets the hub mount without having to machine the spindle. The instructions and part #'s are on speedways web site.
You can buy the disc brake adapter kit and get the hubs and bearing locally. Probably cheaper to get everything from Speedway.
