Adapting the 1960 gmc hubcap's to later model 5 on 5 wheel's.This is still a budget build . I had some (impala) Caprice Police Cruiser rim's around so I used these for the Bull at this time. Kept it simple to keep the cap's retained.

The axle's are back.Reinstalled them today into housing. Redrilled for 5 on 5 and turned down in the center to fit the later model drum's.FYI or BTW on these early Dana 44 axle's they use same as the big Ford ( torino ) axle bearing's very common and they are 30 spline axle shaft's.

It's funny, I'd never see a hubcap like yours till I saw this thread. Then 4 of these showed up for sale locally, still in the factory boxes, never installed. 1955 though, you said yours were 1960?

Piece by piece.Fab up exhaust front to back. This is alway's time consuming.There are very talented exhaust builder's out there though on my home garage floor I am not one of them.Especially on a bagged truck.
