I think his 1981 parts truck has a car bolt pattern on the 9 inch rearend and car hubs or bolt pattern up front. He wants to know if there is a car hub that will fit a 1950 F1.The disk brake kit you buy for the front of the F1 uses a car hub. You actually name the bolt pattern and they supply it with the kit. There is an adapter that is put on the axle for spacing purposes.

If you plan on keeping your original front suspension, you could convert to disc brakes like Chris suggested and use rotors with 5 on 4.5 pattern. If you want to update the front suspension, you could put a Volare suspension under it or even a T-bird or other Ford suspension graft. These options would also give you the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern.
