Possibly wrong hubs?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey, I recently bought some warn manual locking hubs for my 86 K5. As I went to put them on I realized my automatics have 5 screws holding the cap on, whereas the warns have 6. In the warn instructions it reads that if your axles have 3 retaining screws holding the cap on then you have to buy their adapter. So what I am asking is do I need a different adapter, or does warn make a manual hub for my axle with 5 screws? Thanks in advance, Kaysen

I'm guessing when you swap out the old 'guts' the new WArn 'guts' will have the 6 screw holes you need, your not actually screwing into the hub itself.
