    Hello New to this forum. I removed the wheels from my 1965 and noticed the rear brake drums are not held the on the hubs with the 3 screws like the front ones.. Is this normal? Also if you are not running a heater is there a bypass hose at the front of the head to the water pump Thanks Howdog

    It is normal, neither of my rear hubs had screws in them

    Not sure on the heater, both mine came with the heater.

    all you do is just make a loop for the coolant. i.e. just connect the two that went to the heater together.

    X2.

    PO did that on mine, almost three years and 2,500 miles later I've had no issues.
