wheels
On my 70, the hubs on the front wheels stick out with the manual lockouts but the rears are flush with the drum.
I plan to mount 15x(8 or 10) rims with 33x10.5 tires after I lift 4 inches. Are there any wheel caps or something of that sort to give the rear a similar look to the front? |

Re: wheels
that's because they are full floating front hubs. You could find or fit a full floating axle on the rear but they are usually 3/4 or higher

Re: wheels
I think he's really looking for the caps. depending on the wheel you are working with, they should have some type of center cap for it. Some even have a open center cap for the front too. I know mine did but the PO lost one of the rear caps. So I left the other rear off to match.
Warn used to make a kit for 12 bolt axles to make them a full floating axle, where you could also have a lock/unlock hub on the end just like the front. (good for flat towing or if you snap an axle) Good luck finding one of those as warn stopped making them a couple years back. A buddy of mine put a warn full floater on 9" in his early Bronco. Pretty cool, but pranksters at his job kept unlocking the rears on him when he was inside.
