Early American question

[russ hathaway <russh97309@xxxxxxxxx>]

Got done talking to a guy in So Cal with a 54
American. As he had just waken me up I was a little
groggy but the question was in adapting discs/late
drums onto his American.
He stated that the car has 4 lug wheels, my first
question; I thought they were 5 lug but as he has the
car in his garage I wasn't going to push the argument.
Were they indeed 4 lug or did someone monkey with the
car prior to him getting the car. What year did they
switch to 5.
Next ques; The stock master cyl would be a single
resevior, what would be a good choice to use for disc
brakes considering  the space constraints.
Last ques; is the spindle the same bolt pattern as the
later years, 1964 and up?
I am not as familiar with the early bathtubs as I am
with the later ones so I am afraid I wasn't much help
to him, and I hope he is reading these posts.....Russ
