Please Help! I've searched throughout these forums and the web. I've obviously run into the hub problem too, but now with a twist so I need some help with the numbers and opinion. I have a 64 F100 with a newer combo front hub/drum and an older hub with the number XPA AK-1306A-KH? (can't read the last digit). I located a 64 F100 and bought a hub from the junk yard. It has number C4TA-1106-DKH (I know this is the engineering number and assume it is similar to/same as C4TA-1106-DK). One of the lugs is missing and the hole is much larger than the lug holes from the other wheels. In fact, it looks like the four remaining have another ring of metal between the lug bolt and the hole in the hub. The lug bolts also look as though they have been welded on.
So my questions:
1) Is the old hub from my truck even a valid hub? The bearings were trashed when I pulled it.
2) Is the hub I bought right and is it safe? I've never seen spacers between lug bolts and hubs, nor have I ever seen lug bolts welded to hubs.
I have until Friday to return it.

Reason: Mis-written
I can't help with these numbers, the first number is manufacturer (Kelsey-Hayes "KH" ) related. The C4TA-1106 numbers are not listed in the Ford Master Cross Reference Catalogs.
What size are the 'newer combo" front brake shoes, 11" x 2" (1961/67 F100) or 11" x 3" (1968/72 F100)?
1964/65: Ford sold the hub separate from the drum. But in 1966, Ford replaced both with a hub & drum assy.
Thank you for the quick reply. The newer combo set is marked with part number C6TZ-1102-B as you said it should be and the shoes are 2". I'm just afraid the other one may not be right either.
I guess its back to the junk yard and get them to pull the other 7 wheels they have until I find a good one.

Bone head welded studs to hub because he used the same studs over again, instead of replacing with new studs.
When the studs are removed, the serrations flatten out. Use them over again, the drum wobbles on the hub, could fly off. Not pleasant!
Bone head welded them on, so this wouldn't occur.
There's a similar thread inre to this typed recently (don't recall thread title, or if it was typed in this or '67/72 forum).
OP driving down the road, felt a vibration, pulled over, took a look-see. Hub 'n drum didn't come all the way off, as it got caught on the grease cap.
Had it towed home and when he jacked it up, the hub 'n drum fell off onto the ground.
Just had four of those little suckers come available......

Garbz,
I am very interested in a front hub. I need it for a 1965 Ford F100 2WD. I am looking for the kind that has another hole (besides the 5 stud holes) that are for the cast drums (instead of the cast iron/steel composite drum style). Pleas e-mail me either way.
Thanks,

I need the hub on the right (with the extra hole on bottom)
