Need parts!!!!!!!!

switch back · 10-20-2006, 05:34 PM

Ive got myself a 77 F250 and Im trying to find some 4X4 hubs.
Ive checked with all my local parts stores and none of them seem to have any luck finding them. I even work at a Ford dealership and of coarse there obsolete.
If any one out there has any sugestions it would be greatly apretiated

LMC truck is a great place to find outdated parts like that although they do seem a little high from time to time. but then agin, you cant get the part anywhere else can you??

not that I can find

bradrhale · 10-23-2006, 10:42 AM

you tried your local part yards??

switch back · 10-23-2006, 11:17 AM

dont have a recking yard any where close,
I wonder if they have a conversion kit to change this to the newer style locking hubs

Do you have a d44 or d60 in the front of that? Is it a 77 or a 77.5? Do you have a 205 t-case or a 203?
Warn has hubs for all of the above applications, and are easy to find. Be aware that if you have a full time transfer case (203), that you will not be able to add just locking hubs, a part time conversion will be required. This will mean that you will have to take the t-case apart. The whole kit will then come with locking front hubs. If you install just the hubs, without the t-case kit, the truck will not go anywhere.

Milemarker, or superwinch, or warn will have what you need. Look em up online. As for installing the hubs without the trans concversion, it will go just fine, but it defeats itself by turning the front driveshaft even if the hubs are unlocked. Makes it more drivable on pavement, but the part time conversion of your transfer case will make it even better.

Hey chevyguy: I do not wanna get picky, but, if he has a 203 (part time, chain driven) t-case, he will need the part time conversion to install locking hubs. The truck will absolutely not move under its own power if it is not done. The only drive shaft that will turn, will be the front, and with the hubs unlocked, the truck simply can't move. (just like a one legger with one tire off of the ground) See, full time cases actually have another differential inside of the t-case, this is why it can be driven on dry pavement in 4-wheel drive. (it is always in 4 wheel drive)If it did not have this diff. in the case, the truck would bind up, and "chunk" around turns (even if it has open differentials in the axles), and steering would be difficult. The part time kit locks up this diff. (t-case), and delivers equal power to both driveshafts, just like a locker in an axle would, allowing you to install lockout hubs, and with a little modification to the t-case selector linkages, (part of the kit) resulting in 2 wheel drive, with no output from the front driveshaft. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true.
