Me thinks we're havin' terminology issues here
The brake drum is just the the "capped tube" about 11 by 2 inches on the end of the drive axle. the drive axle holds the wheel studs (another missname because they are spline cap srews) Any production 1/2 ton rear drive axle assembly (also shortened to axle to add to the confusion) that I, and I would guess most of us, have seen have the wheel stud drawn thru the axle shaft's flanged end.
6 bolts were mentioned which on a 66 chev or canadian GMC should indicate a semi floating GM corporate 12bolt (named for the 12 bolt cover pan)
Does this put us all on the same page???
