early 99 hub conversion ???s
Will be replacing both hubs and remember reading something about to converting to post 3/22/99 hubs and rotors is cheaper than just replacing pre 3/21/99 hubs. Did a little searching and ran across guys trying to do this and having problems with fitment. Just looking to have what I need when I tear it apart . Any part # info would be really welcome , trying to go moderate on budget don't want the best or the cheapest. Thanks

If you are talking about the unit bearings, which I think is the case. The late 99 and up sit .070" farther from the face of the axle. The late rotors are machined to accommodate that.
Some trucks have enough slop to be ok with mixing parts, some don't. Some people just space out the caliper bracket enough to clear.
Short and simple, late model unit bearings need late model rotors.

Thanks for response.I`m leaning towards finding the bearing unit online as it usually means cheaper and just buying rotors locally so I can run them back right away if theres a problem.I`ll post part #s and prices after its all done.

For some reason bearings with abs are usually cheaper. If you don't need the front abs sensor just cut the cord off. Also, spend the cash for Timken's. My last set of parts store brand bearings didn't make it a year before needing replaced under warranty. 6 months after that both where throwing grease out the back and one was tight. The warranty was up by then so I just bought the Timken's.
