8 bolt hubs

I have a 1956 F-100 2WD. I need to install larger hubs with the 8 bolt pattern and drum brakes. Does anybody know what would be involved and appropriate donor parts?

Thanks
TTFN

well i dont know about the 56,but i have a 50 m-68,i was able to swap my 8 bolt front hubs and backing plates for a 53 f-1 5 bolt.it was very easy to do,once i figure out what i needed it was only about 45 minutes to change over both sides.
where do you live,if you need them i still have my 8 bolt hubs and plates.

Thanks Roy.
anyone correct me please, but I believe 53-56 use the same axle so it looks like the '50 brakes will fit. I'm by Chicago.
