Re: 1960 Chevy Apache wheel bearings 62 hubs?

Red,

I'm having a bit of trouble finding some you wrote about in the post below. Would you happen to have a part number I goggled the following

62-68 1/2 ton 2wd hubs

A few things popped up but I'm searching kinda blind. Also ar ethe the 6 lugs> That what my rims are for.

Thanks
Jake

They slide right on the original spindles. Done deal. The hubs cost me $50 and the tapered wheel bearings and seals to match (@Autozone) cost me $50 ($100) total. Cheaper and better, whats not to like about that.

I can't say for sure if the same trick will work on your GMC, but what do you have to loose
