I did, not camping anymore this winter so put it back on since it looks a lot better
Didn't it have some tidy looking canvas on the sides once upon a time?

I can't remember if Charlies ever did.
Partial canvas ....
Must have been someone else. I had canvass down to the sides on my 75 ute. It was very handy ,it had zips and windows made of mosquito mesh. Great for sleeping in
I had a couple of older Land Rovers (1960's) with full canvas tops and I was never comfortable with the lack of visibility thus the partial canvas on the Ute. It provided shade and that was about it.

Replaced both front wheel bearings. Was not able to get all the play out of them. No noticeable play now. Did find a bit of corrosion on the locking hub parts on the right side. Will have to see what options there are for replacements.

Why do you need replacements
How bad did the rust affect them? 20c at 6am and beach time

I can see if the rust keeps growing that it could eventually affect the sliding in/out. And I hate rust

Do you know what material the dome nuts are on the outer of hub? Stainless? Zinc plated?
If they are steel ZP do you know if they are HT? Thanks.

You don't keep them ensconced in grease?

I've only had this truck about 6mo. Don't know how long they have been rusty. I don't think the previous owner would have done much deep water fording when he had it
So, don't know when they started to get rusty. They have a lot of "smear" on them now.

Looks like stainless, don't know what kind. Previous owner installed these.

A nice day for a drive, a balmy *5F. Wasn't in the 75 though.
