I believe that the 5 lug 1949-1950 Chevy front brake drums will be a direct bolt-on to a 1948 Chevy.

ps. In the 1960's, a certain 1940 Chevy business coupe that I know very well had 5 lug chrome reverse rims on it.

I think the toolman is right. I have a set of 5 lug brake drums that I took off from a '37 front axle that I bought. My '37 drums and back plates bolted right on it .
