That's the way I felt, when I exhausted my search abilities, for the big hub Ford ones. The ones I have on my '68 have worked fine for the past 3 years now, with no problems. I like the bronze centers too. No plastic.. is a good thing.

I could not find any of the Ford original hubs or parts when rebuilding mine, so bought direct from Warn Hubs, and ordered the HD replacement. It has the brass center, which won't break like the Ford ones. I still have my Ford ones, and do not intend to ever use them, so if you cannot find the parts in the USA, I will bring the centers North with me in late Jan, and ship them to you if you wish.?? The price is FREE, you just pay the shipping from Texas...

I found some warn hub images that look nice. Just have to make sure buying right ones. But they look solid!

In this case I think the warn hubs will work and look better than OEM. Right on!

Where can I find Lock-out hub? aka Actuating ****? Both of the **** function (I think) but the other one is very stiff and the Ford part is tore off. I remember that side always being hard and he would use pliers. When I take the other side down I will see if I can find out why and fix it. In the mean time does anyone know where I can find one or a set of these OEM *****? Thxs:

brother Russ,
When, I change over to disc brakes axle, I had to replacement my outer hubs with new replacements. The neat thing was they were o-ringed an no funky hub leaky hub gaskets.
Was Wondering if you also got the upgraded o-ring hubs ??
F2501972 Look for the o-ringed hubs much better.

The ***** were part number D2TZ1A029A. Discontinued 2002 or earlier. None on any of my locators or evilbay. But lookie what www.dennis-carpenter.com has! If I remember right there was a pin that was in the back of these *****. Don't forget them.

I should be putting new oil in the knuckle by tomorrow night. I'm thinking about using a long tube and gravity to fill knuckle. But with all the areas that I will need to fill is there a tool I can buy or a better way to fill all those oil areas?

There is those little pumps the screw onto a plastic oil jugs;
I once used a pipe 90* to fill then there's those suction or push canister look like a large grease gun but has a drew back T handle on the back.
Also I've cut the tip off the QT bottle of gear lube an tilled it up putting it in that way.
