sorry, i work at a machine shop and this caught my eye..."machine the hubs down"?? for what? where?

[bburris]

They're Chevy dually hubs. You can machine part of the hub off where the dually lugnuts attach and then you have a SRW Chevy D60. There are a few write ups on doing it...

[TXsizeK5]

look on POR's D60 bible.
I might just end up getting some SRW hubs.

i machined one of my dually hubs to see if would work. i bought a dually axle at first and couldn't find any cheap SRW hubs so i just bought a whole truck with a SRW 60 in the front.

gears? locker?

I wish i could put something that pretty on my truck. Im too po' though.


What is it about rebuilding kingpins? Do they need to be redone every so often? Do they wear out? A friend of mine is putting a D60 under his 99 k2500 and hes gonna rebuild the axle and all new seals and that stuff. The kingpin rebuilds are like 40 apiece and he could save serious coin if he didn't rebuild them. So - do you REALLY have to rebuild the kingpin?
