If the foil label says Ford, then they are F250 Spicers. If they say Spicer, then they are 1970 Chevy/GMC hubs.

Re: Locking Hub Question - original or Aftermarket

Looks like someone scribbled out the f word on them, but thats as close as you can get to correct for a 1970 K20 without finding good used or NOS.

Re: Locking Hub Question - original or Aftermarket

MY original hubs on the 72 were blue, one of them got destroyed so i bought another set but they were no longer blue but gold. If you call Wes at Classic Heartbeat he knows about them and may be on to a replacement blue set.

Now i regret tossing my old set in the trash about 15 years ago, the dials were fine, it was just the internals that were bad.
