On my 88 it has flanged hubs that go over the lug studs. Can I replace the hubs and rotors from a 77 F150. The parts books say that the rotors are the same but I do not know if I can change over to get away from the flanged hubs or not. Thanks for the help.

I'm thinking you'd be better off to find a TTB truck for the swap. I'm pretty sure you're gonna need everything from the knuckles out including the stub shaft. That is to say you won't need the knuckles, but you'll need stub shaft, spindle, wheel bearing hub, rotor. Not sure about the caliper. Wheel bearings for virtually any D44 are the same.
But the spindle on the '77 should be a 5-bolt design while you need 6 IIRC. And the stub shafts are different. Everything else will probably work - sorry I'm a little rusty on this info.

honney,

I have a posting over on the "4wd" listing about automatic hubs. You seem to be knowledgable about the subject - do you know the answer?

Thanks,
