2WD hubs are different than 4WD.

There are TWO different 4WD hubs.

With or without free running.

What exact model/year is your truck?

Profile sez 1974 F150 = Ford never made one.

No F150 4WD's till 1975.

2WD / 4WD hubs are different - will not interchange.

In fact, Ford never sold the hubs separately on 2WD's after 1957.

Ford only sold certain 4WD hubs separate from the drum. It depends on the application.

1974 F100 4WD with locking hubs:

C8TZ-1104-A .. Front Hub

Fits: 1968/76 F100 4WD w/ locking hubs.

> > AND...1968/77 Bronco. < <

Try = FTE sponsor Bronco Graveyard for the hub.
