Hi

Those look awesome. Great job.

I can't really tell from the picture, but it looks like you skipped on repainting the grooves around the hub black. I semi-resto'd mine the other day and used 1/8" tape (found at Office Max of all places) to mask the grooves off and hit them with some rattle can black. It made all the difference. If course I'm not running hubcaps so my hubs are much more exposed.

Looks nice.

Warning: the stainless bolts are significantly weaker than the correct hardened bolts that retain the hub body.

I seriously doubt the SS bolts are weaker than the WARN hub.

A warn hub is the worst thing you could replace a stock hub with.

With the size tires and the look of the truck Id say his hubs and SS bolts will be just fine.

Unless you are breaking birfs occasionally you wont kill the hubs.

Cruiser looks great.

Those warn hubs are machined instead of cast aluminum. Not your everyday warn hubs. The 10 spline ball and claw axles will fail first.

I have some of those old Warn hubs too. I may fix them up just so I can use the vintage Warn decal on the dash. Meanwhile I am living large with chromed Selectros.

Looks great! I have a couple of pairs of those old hubs. I guess I'll do the same.
