Drumming up ideas!

When you switch a II to five bolt, What drums do you use?? I have looked into having the axles re-drilled, that's easy enough. Is there a slip on rear drum for this aplication, with out putting on your fabricating helmit??? 60's Mustangs had 8" fords with 5 bolt pattern, can you use those drums with Mustang II shoes and backing plates???

There is a fatal flaw in the above information. The II 8" housing ends are not the same as any other 8" rear. They will not accept other axles without machining, as the bearings are different size on both the inner and outer diameters. The bearing retainer plates also have a unique pattern.
 
Dmoody, Do you have re-drilled II axles in your car?? I have concerns about the center hole, because I heard talk on this forum of opening up the center hole of Ranger drums. I drive my car, and I want to be able to have a car I can fix on the side of the road without a machine shop
 
so you mean that if i could find a 1976 granada with the 8" rear all i have to do is pull the the axles, press on the II's bearing retainers and just throw them in? i guess i'd also use the granada's drums? i would'nt have to swap out the backing plates? then i would have five lugs sweet. i wiould love to put on some crager ss wheels on the II.
