Farmer Posted March 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Little by little. Funtana getting some Jewelry Bearing adapter on Bracket on Now I just need to find some 78 to 84 Hubs. Any body got some? 4 Quote Link to comment
d.p Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I got some that I bought in plans of doing Mikes front disc kit on my 521 but ended going with Beebani’s. I think they are off a 78 and never taken out of the box. Only bad part is I am in DC area and would have to ship them. 1 Quote Link to comment
Ben_upde Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I believe I have some from the D21 spindles I grabbed from the Junkyard. They are yours if you want them. I’m in Boise but my coworker is heading up to puyallup next weekend if that’s closer to you. 1 Quote Link to comment
FrankRizzo Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Ive been talking to Bee lately and also am having difficulties finding D21 hubs....even new. Do you know if the D21 hubs will widen the stock track? Im thinking about doing his ball joint conversion and dont want to push the wheels out ... . 1 Quote Link to comment

This setup makes it stick out half inch each side. Im looking for 78 to 84 hubs. But thats due to the brake kit Edited March 18, 2019 by Farmer 1 Quote Link to comment
Ben_upde Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 The hubs I have came off an early D21. I believe an ‘83,’84. They were the exact same as the ‘79 hubs already on my truck. They are small enough they could go in a flat rate box too 3 Quote Link to comment

Farmer Posted April 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Ah nuts. the hubs are from a 86 or newer. Got to have them milled down Edited April 3, 2019 by Farmer 1 Quote Link to comment

Got to have them milled down I’m certain they are exactly the same as the stock ones off my ‘79 😕 They fit into my stock 14” steelie wheel exactly the same as they fit on the ‘79 as well. A later 4” center would not have remotely fit that wheel 🤔 I even made sure to check it on the oldest dated wheel I had, which I believe was a ‘75 🙁 Sorry they aren’t working out for you edit: stole this pic from a 720 thread based on rotor holes they gotta be the same thing 🤔 Edited April 3, 2019 by Ben_upde 1 Quote Link to comment

The hardbody and the vented rotor 720 hubs centers are to large to fit a stock 620, 521, 520, or320 steel wheels. What you want are 79/79 620 disc brake hub, or early non vented rotor 79 to 83 720 hubs. 2 Quote Link to comment

What you want are 79/79 620 disc brake hub, or early non vented rotor 79 to 83 720 hubs. You are correct, it was a late built ‘85 truck making it an ‘86MY truck. I happened upon the u-pull-it yard vehicle list ticket while cleaning out my car today 😂 My ‘79 KC came with non-vented rotors and I could swear they are the same size centers. I didn’t mic’ them because the relationship to the rotor bolt holes looked way too close to the same for there to be a difference. Either way, if they don’t fit they don’t fit and I feel bad for sending him something that will cost him money to make work 😕 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 The vented rotors have the same bolt hole layout as the non vented rotors. I purchased one of Mike Klotz's first kit of the steel type. I run 1980 720 hubs on the Klotz kits. 1 Quote Link to comment

FrankRizzo Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Im so friggin confused. Would the Isuzu rotors and calipers I have on my truck fit on the milled hub Farmer posts above? 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Mike Klotz's kits use the late 720 D21 rotors and calipers. Bebani's kits use the the Isuzu parts. Edited April 4, 2019 by Charlie69 2 Quote Link to comment
