Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted February 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2015 Just curious, but why do you feel it's necessary to change it over? It can most definitely be done. The easiest way is to find a donor truck for your hubs and brake drums. The spindle or axle wouldn't need to be changed out. I prefer the spokes on an old Mack, myself. 4 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39062-switching-from-spoke-to-plate-rim-on-a-b-series-front-axle/#findComment-280565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack-maniack Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 thanks for answering! i just like the looks better, atleast on the project this is planned for.so thanks for confirming that it can be done with hubs and brakes, it feels alot safer buying stuff when you know it will work out right! :-)cheers, kim 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39062-switching-from-spoke-to-plate-rim-on-a-b-series-front-axle/#findComment-280615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
