Try looking for hubs to fit an 80-89 3/4 to 1 ton with a 60 or 70 series front axle. My front end is a 60 series from an 86 with the cummins deisel. I don't know if the spline count is the same, but the hubs also use the 8 bolt flanges. The ones I have are "Selectro" and "Dual-matic". After thinking I had something REALLY strange, I looked around and found that Most of the first series of pick-ups with the Cummins engine also had the 8 bolt front locking hubs. They changed to the "normal" 6 bolt ones towards the ends of the 80's. I've been told that most of the internal parts will interchange, so you could put the right centre spline collar into the proper 8 bolt outer case if the newer ones have a finer spline. New "Warn" hubs were no longer available, and Chrysler doesn't service parts for the factory ones (Selectro?) so you may have to look for NOS pieces, or at a wreckers. If you find some locking hubs, and want to get rid of the drive flanges, I would be interested if the spline count is correct. Best of Luck J.V.L.
