Need some advise on a rear hub 1968 F250

[ICEMAN6166]

wow. i looked at the pics ,
i see the studs in the original hub, so i know those fine cone washers are there and they can be a pain. there are easy ways to remove those studs.same with the drum from the hub.
not sure how you did that, but its beside the point now anyway.
the bearings are available, as bearings are made by size, not application.
there are numbers on the bearing and race , you can order by number
if it is trashed and not readable,then you need only the od of the race, the id of the bearing, and the thickness to get a correct bearing.
seals have numbers too.just need to clean them up and look carefully.
i just bought some of the washers and nuts at my local parts store.

i order by number whenever possible, saves on the headache of the stores computer not showing because of vehicle age.i also dont throw very much stuff away or take to the salvage yard.never know when i might need it.

hope you are able to get it back together, if you have any more ?s. just ask away.

Found a hub in Oregon. Used the link to www.car-part.com and found a salvage yard in Oregon. Called and talked to Tom for nearly an hour. He was very helpful and was interested in making sure I got the right hub this time. He had a hub in inventory and carefully measured the dimensions to see if it matched my hub. I send him the pics to look at and he confirmed that he had a hub that looked and measured exactly as I needed. Give these guys a chance if you are looking for truck parts. This is their specialty. He even said if it didn't work to just send it back. No problem.

Should have the hub in by January 30th. Wheels just came back from the blast & power coat people. Took them in to mount new tires. With any luck I'll be able to roll the truck within a week. The engine should be back from the shop next week too. Man I can't wait to get this old truck running. I'll have to trailer it to the muffler shop to get the new exhaust. I'm leaning towards running the duals out the sides behind the rear tires. Any opinions out there? Like I even need to ask :lol:

Good news, it sounds like you found a place that cares about its customers and selling the correct part. Very few and far between anymore
Hope it works out for you
