Something to chew on

I have read a couple of threads on fitting later style wheels on 60-87 trucks. It seems that the major problem is the hub protrudes too far for the wheel center. I wonder how hard it would be to fabricate a spindle to use the 99 up hub in the earlier chassis? You would need some bungs to bore for the ball joint tapers and the tie rod. A large bung that would be machined for the hub assembly and some plate. A jig would have to be fabricated to locate the steering and ball joints. Just some thing to think about. Jay
