First off, good luck finding any parts for the Dualmatics!  I had to make 
my own gaskets, and the poor (usually very knowledgable) guys at NAPA 
couldn't find any reference.. one old timer in town started laughing and 
cackling when I called.. he knew what they were, but hadn't had any in 
about 15 years or so..

Are these the same as the Selectro hubs used on Jeeps?

I'll also second the large 1/4 turn knob is very easy to turn, though 
it's "backwards" (counter-clockwise to LOCK), and I still have the stock 
hub-caps on my '77 (w/ the Dualmatics), and the hub caps get in the way 
when trying to lock/unlock..
