Interesting, tho' hubs for the IH application are still a ?

No, they don't: www.uglytruckling.com . They machine the hub to fit a GM
rotor. I'm still interested in whether their kit for 8 lub W200's will fit
an IH spec closed knuckle D44HD. I'll be even *more* interested if I can get
my 'dream' square body T-all moving, it's getting one of those axles.
'Course it does have brand new brakes...

Somehow, I got the idea that Spencer's truck is 2WD. Not sure it matters, as
their W300 kit is for a D70.

An even better newsflash is that their D100/200 kits are now out. Someone
needs to send them spindle dim's and a backing plate hole pattern to see if
they'll work on an FA-1. Hey, that sounds like me!

Then, the big question becomes will the stock  5 lug wheels fit the Dodge
Dakota hub/rotor? The only reason I'm not swapping in later axles to Jan's A
T-all is to be able to run the stock hubcaps ;)
