The front hub on my 63 Econoline has a significant amount of wear within the hub. The bearing race has 1/16th inch of play when seated in the hub (I just replaced the bearings). The easiest approach would seem to be replacing the hub, however I cannot locate one anywhere.

Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a 63 econline front hub?

Is the Econoline spindle compatible with any other Ford vehicles?

Finally does anyone have any experience with getting a hub machined and locating over sized bushings?

Thanks!

The hub PN I need should be C1UU 1102-A

 

The front hub/drum is Raybestos 2648R. Rock Auto has it for $53.75. This is the finned version for extra drum cooling, but will work on all 1961-1967 Econolines.

The Raybestos 2648R is just the drum and RockAuto does not sell the hub. The drum I have is fine, its the hub with the problems.

I cannot find anyplace that sells a hub.

 

Sorry, I thought that was the number for the hub and drum combo.

There is one for sale on eBay.

If he has any used ones, he will be honest enough to sell you a decent one. He hangs out on the VintAGE-Vans discussion boards.

I just found that Collectors Auto Supply in Washington has 22 of the C1UU 1102-A in stock. They are not listed on the website, so shoot them an email.
