    My 39 Tudor sedan standard came converted from the wide 5 bolt pattern to 5.5" on both the front and rear. It does have round back spindles on the front and still has a banjo on the rear. What do I need to look at/for in order to identify what was used to do this conversion?

    If the hub is inside the drum the assembly is prewar, if the hub is outside the drum it's postwar. Generally.
