Question Brake Drum difference?

Boy do I/ We never stop learning; I'm restoring a 65 F100 SWB and last night remove all four brake drums, was thinking once got them turned; I could place the front ones on to my 66 F100 LWB; And purchase new ones for my 65 model; but to my surprise the 66 model front drum's have the wheel bearing housing attached to the drums, I look up both assembly dates and the 65 was built in 06/65 and my 66 was built 01/66. I didn't think 6 months would make that much of a big difference? Could someone either change my 66 to a different style. The truck's show serial # being within roughly 11k trucks numbers apart. I initially though or guess my 66 was HD 2 1/2" wide verse possible 2" on my 65, however I just measure the front on my 65 and thier 2 1/2" and the back are roughly 2 1/4"..

Any Method to the Truck Resto Madness
