Rob Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Wedge brakes work fine if maintained properly. Most aren't, or weren't when they were commonplace.

storkmack Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Well I figure for a hobby truck they the wedges will be just fine. I have a set of 5 hole aluminum wheels that I feel will just look great on this truck. Out side of that it needs a starter solenoid, air leaks fixed, and general cleaning up. Should be a fun truck to run around with. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65747-center-point-hubs/#findComment-468198 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurstscrambler Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I think I still have the spare axle that came out of my 1969 IH, they are budd wheel hubs and I believe it is a Rockwell 12k axle although the ID tag is gone. I’m not familiar how to identify the part. I will try to locate them and snap a picture this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65747-center-point-hubs/#findComment-468242 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have them put in a lathe and turn the drums off of them. instead of pressing the studs out to remove the drums. 1 Quote One ping only Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65747-center-point-hubs/#findComment-468279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Not much of a difference in the way anything drives with a trailer on but it can be a hairy experience when slick and bobtail. The IH must be a tandem truck as 4 wheel brakes were mandated in those years but not on the steer axle till the 1975 model year for all trucks. 1974 and back front brakes were an option on a tandem chassis. Always liked the center point hubs on a power steering truck as it helped them return to center easily. Particularly if the hydraulic system was "Garrison" as it really didn't have a good RTC unless with center point steering.

Truck Shop Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Front brakes were not federally mandated till July of 1979 on all trucks. But most all were installing them as standard equipment by 1976.

carlotpilot Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 might be a good idea to capture that whole axle . not many left with budd hubs Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/65747-center-point-hubs/#findComment-468330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
