I like the Warn Premiums on the Dana 60s. They are a handsome set of hubs. If I had $250 on me yesterday at the swap meet I would have bought the set my friend was selling

I agree those are some nice looking hubs. Mine need to be refreshed. I’ll get to it one of these days.

These pictures are from a GMC brochure for 1970 (printed 7-69), hubs on the Jimmy were blue and the pickup still has what appears to be the all metal hub lok hubs or maybe just drive flanges since lockouts were optional.

Thanks for the photos. My March 1970 produced Blazer has the blue. I've seen earlier 1970 K/5 K10 with red. Trying to pin down when the switch was made.

The k/10 has the metal Spicers

and this brochure proves the front axles came Medium Olive Poly

The '70 Blazer CST I owned had red knobs. But I have no idea what part of the year it was built. I have always seen either/or. I only have owned on '69 K/10 and it had the metal Spicers. I believe all K/20s had the metal and K/10s had either/or. I think the old style Spicers were used less that the plastic on '69 K/10s. I don't know about Blazers

April 1970 produced K10.. looks pretty original, still has drum front brakes. Does have an engine swap.

1970CSTBlazer, How long ago did you do the engine swap?
Looking for 292-only RH Motor Mounts.

The bronze K10 was found on the net, and is not mine.
