65 was the last year for two piece axles, 66 and up 1 peace axles. Drum should be swaged to hub by the studs up to 65. The reasoning was if a wheel came off, the drum could not follow, and you still had brakes.

Was it in neutral or drive shaft out? Pinion was probably turning............path of least resistance!

Subject: Rear Wheels

My 64 Fury Convertible is currently having the engine rebuilt, which required me to move it the old-fashioned way - pushing it. The right rear wheel was locking up, so I took the wheel and drum off (brakes are pretty new, and drum is solid), with minimal difficulty. Remind me - aren't they of the "swaged" variety? I was able to get the hub off after loosening the nut, and a couple good smacks of the drum with a hammer, although I had it off a couple years ago (just can't remember when the "swaging" of rear drums ended - obviously a fault of too many Mopars of a wide variety of years).

I must admit that I forgot about the left-handed threads on the left side wheel for a painful minute.

Now, I am going to remove and clean-up the left-rear also, but shouldn't the left wheel turn (it is off of the ground) when I rotate the right-rear hub with the drum off? What am I missing?
