Changing From Hubs on a '60 GMC

[jbgroby]

This little sidetrack mission started with trying to change the barings.......

Another BB member told me that the 1962 Chevy C10 hubs have roller barings and fit on the 1960 GMC/Chevy Spindles. If I can confirm and find these hubs I'll make the switch. Another member told me that making the witch would help improve highway speed issues as the OEM type ball baring really don't like being driving long distance at 60+mph. But I'm trying to see if they come with 6 lugs for my rims.

Any leads ya'll have for the 62 hubs, I'd appre. will start the parts house serve asap.

Thanks
Jake

If up to 70 hubs work, you should have a multitude of people with old parts.

[60-66]

1962-1966 hubs are all 6 lug Jake, even up to 67-70. 1/2 ton 2 wheel drive.

The C10 front hubs '63-'70 with tapered bearings, should all be the same. I might have a set on a '65. I'll have to go look and see tomorrow.
