220cummins Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Get the bearing number and have it cross to a budd style hub. A seal number can be crossed too. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46214-cant-believe-im-asking-this/#findComment-340448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Hubs, drums, maybe studs if none in the hubs, seal, hub cap, and of course rims. I think you should do it if you really want to. I agree about how cool they look. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46214-cant-believe-im-asking-this/#findComment-340476 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when I helped a couple buddy's build lifted pickups one guy did this. There was 2 types of rims he liked so he bought 2 of each. Ran one style on passenger side and other pair on driveside. Personally go for the aluminum buds I like them. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46214-cant-believe-im-asking-this/#findComment-340479 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Freightrain Posted July 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2016 Find a pair of 5 hole budds, even if they are steel. I like the look. I've threatened to find budd hubs for my B but haven't found them, yet. If I could just get the old hubs cleaned up and painted again it wouldn't look so ragged. I painted them 15 yrs ago and they are just ugly now. 3 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
