Re: early hubs
I guess it will be tough to find Dana/Spicer hubs. You may find someone who replaced theirs and still has the good one. Personally,I don't find using other hubs from the same vintage as a non-original thing. Most trucks came w/o lockout hubs and later installed Warn,Selectro,Dual-matic,etc. It was more common to see those brands on a '61 than OEM option hubs. It's like non-original tires or batteries,to me,to set aftermarket lock-out hubs on a vintage 4wd. But,I'm into real world restorations,not showroom,these days. I guess it's the nostalgia factor for me. Not many left anything "as purchased" in reality and lock-out hubs,better tires,and winches were common 1st stop after purchase items on trucks that were actually used.
