Is my old hub to small
So I've been converting an old bike that I got on craigslist. It's a Schwinn Le Tour II from I believe 1976. I've got the original hub on the back and I wanted to know if it will fit a modern sprocket. Basically, I am worried that they changed the standard thread size at some point and if I buy a sprocket to go back there it won't fit.
I was thinking of getting something like this:

I know this is probably a newbie question, but I would rather not waste money on parts I can't use.

It's not recommended but you can run a cog and a bb lockring, that said I wouldn't advise doing it. Put a freewheel on there or find a new rear wheel.

No I don't. "Bicycle-related injuries account for approximately 900 deaths, 23,000 hospital admissions, 580,000 emergency department visits and more than 1.2 million physician visits per year in the United States."
So .15% of bicycle injuries result in death AND..."Head injuries occur in 22 to 47 percent of injured bicyclists and are responsible for over 60 percent of all bicycle-related deaths."
I doubt it would kill the guy to throw a cog in his old hub, put a bottom bracket long ring on over that, and take it to a local machine shop and have them weld/tack the lock ring on.

as said by ufc eric that you can use a cog and BB lockring but i would advice using brakes if you do this setup. I've run it on my freewheel side for sometime with minimal skidding but you do run the risk of stripping the threads

There is no reason to suicide a hub. You can find used fixed gear wheelsets for less than $50 on CL.
Also, welding/tacking a lockring to a hub is a pretty stupid idea. Not because it won't work, but just because it's stupid.
