You can put Ford hubs on either the Waggy or GM knuckles, the same way for both, search, I know it's been covered a billion times, but basically, pre '76 Chevy or Waggy spindles with the small inner bearing, same as the Ford Hub, use the Waggy or Chevy calipers and mounts, they are the same, the outer axle shaft is a little longer on the Chevy and Jeep, but it works, use the Ford outer if you're anal. You can do this with your Waggy parts and swap to the Chevy knuckles when you get them, they interchange. You could use Ford F-250 flat-top kuckles with Ford spindles, but then you'd have that funky Ford wedge style caliper mount.

Spindles from early GM 44

I have 3 of the early small diameter spindles, that fit the Ford hubs. I was going to put them on the 4 sale board this weekend. I am going 8 lug, and don't need them. I want 20 per spindle for these, they are in good shape, threads and all.
Also have 1 Ford 5 lug hub and rotor from 86 Ford F150. The groove for the o-ring seems to be worn some(?). The lockout didn't tighten up right, and it alway would sling grease. Didn't run the bearings dry in 8 months, but aggrevated the shit out of me with forever cleaning aluminum wheel. Should be allright on a trail vehicle, $20.00.
Everything is plus shipping, and I can do Paypal. Andy
