Re: 3/4 ton 4X4 Hub Dials

I run Selectros right now, and have about any other aftermarket made because, I will admit, I have a hub fetish. I run those because that fetish is only part of my era accessories fetish, which is just a part of my 67-72 fetish, which is part of my early GM truck fetish, which is part of...

Oh yeah, back to my factory correct parts fetish, which hubs are part of. I also am running aftermarket to save the N.O.S. (part of my N.O.S. fetish) one for the day they'll make a difference on my truck. That day may never come, but I have a parts hoard fetish, so wouldn't bother me a bit. I'd like to buy a set of those alloy versions being make to satisfy the first mentioned fetish.

My point is (I really do have one), these OEM reproductions Wes is working on are for those who want factory correct for their restorations. Personally, I think Wes should work on making the chrome rings since Spicer would rather road block reproduction of a part they have no interest in producing (obviously), than have someone else spend their money on putting a product out that will give free advertising and awareness to the age-old company that makes parts no one sees... the unsung heros of the drivetrain world (they invented the u-joint). Corporate can be retarded in the eyes of the regular guy with common sense. But what do we know? If you don''t have as much money as them, you must not know what you are talking about
