Auto Hubs 1995 F150
I am attempting to install automatic hubs from a 1996 Bronco onto my 1995 F150. I know most people hate auto hubs.....long story, but they're going on! The problem is, they don't seem to fit??? The auto hubs are at least an inch deeper and obviously have more moving parts. Has anyone done this project or can help? Both hubs (auto and manual) were held on with three torx bolts. Thank You!

Didn't even think about that. I guess I was thinking the truck already had automatic hubs and was just replacing them, not going from manual to automatic. (Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, but to each their own)

WhiteMax is correct-you need the wheel bearing nuts & retainers for the auto hubs.
If you can't get the old ones off the donor truck, you'll need 2 Ford part #F6TZ-3N105-AA, but be forewarned, they're ridiculously expensive.
(I won't go into the whole "why would you install auto hubs on the truck" controversy)

You guys must be jobless and very bored! Any mechanics on here. Are you smarter than the Ford engineer that engineered these? I don't drive through 2' of mud. So.......after all these wonderful and helpfull suggestions, I think I will venture on my own.

The auto hubs are simply a fail-prone design. That's all there really is to it.
