Hey guys

Getting the front of the rig together with a Kingpin d60 from 78 camper special. Only problem is that the wheel hubs have vanished. Need a solution quick. Havent been able to find anything local... I can get rotors all day but no wheel hubs, what gives? No one reman'd these things?? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

PS Im not talking about the locking hubs. Im talking about the bearing housings, aka: the wheel hubs.

Thanks
Andrew

Ford 60 internal hubs are easy to find. any 84-97 F250 extended cab with the TTB D50 has SRW hubs that will interchange.

Been down that road before. The only difference between the 78/79 hubs and the newer ford 60/50TTB hubs is the size of the wheel mounting studs. The 78/79 uses a 1/2" stud, and the newer stuff uses a 9/16" stud. Rockauto.com has new 78/79 style with the smaller hole, but they are pricey. I already had 9/16" studs on my rear sterling axle, so I just drilled my one good hub to match the one newer hub I found in the boneyard.
