Best thing would be to call Drake and ask him. You could also look at after market fan blades to see what 'matches up". I got mine at Super Shops before they folded years ago. Sumitt and Jegs are a good source. If you can accurately "center" an aftermarket fan on the Drake hub, you can always drill new holes in the fan. I am not sure if the Drake hub has a "hub centric" locater designed into it.
If you decide to use an original fan blade make sure it has no microscopic cracks of flaws that may cause it to work harden and fly apart. I had that happen ONCE! It went thru the hood and into the radiator.
