Re: 1967-1970 C30 front wheel hub questions
Got the project DONE!!!!
I looked all over the internet for junkyards that still had older vehicles, specifically C30's from 1967-1970. I called more than 30 yards across the country and I struck out in about 90+% of them. A few yards had C30's but they weren't the hubs I was looking for. I ran across a guy in Nebraska when I was calling around and he said he didn't have any but knew a guy who would know exactly what I'm looking for. I called Farritor Auto parts in Broken Arrow, Nebraska and spoke with a guy named Jim...this dude knew exactly what I was looking for and took down all my information. He called me the next day and had found the hub I needed in Utah!! I asked if I could get verification of the part numbers before I bought it so about 2 days later he sent me a couple of pictures of the correct casting number on the hub. Hallelujah!!! And thanks to Jim from Farritor. Very nice guy to deal with and I highly recommend him for any questions you may have. I got the hub today via UPS and went to my uncle's house after work to disassemble the 8 lug hubs and put these 5 luggers back on. What we found out is that all of the bearings and seals work in both hubs! So we totally lucked out because the 8 lug hubs we got from a salvage yard truck and put new bearings in, we were able to remove and re-use them all in the original hubs!! Definitely nice since we didn't have to spend any more money or time waiting on bearings. So take note that if you have the 10 lug wheels and 5 lug hubs like we do, the inner and outer bearings and the wheel seals from a standard C30 will work on them. I also got 2 wheels from a lady on Facebook marketplace last week as well as 2 free tires from a mechanic I know who had a few of the 19.5" tires I needed from takeoffs from a stock heavy duty Ford F-550...here's a few pictures of the finished product! Thanks for the help I received from you folks on this forum and also the few messages I received as well. I definitely appreciate it! Oh and as a side note...I do have 2 front 8 lug hubs for a C30 now that I won't be needing if anyone is interested. Thanks again everyone!
