Need front hub for 93 350 4x4

[Swamp Donkey]

My brother-inlaw had a catastrophic failure of his front wheel bearing and the front hub is toast. He has called all kinds of autowreckers that have done Canada and North America wide searches with no luck. I did a search and found these guys... ... . Ventures Truck Part & Equipment, Ogden,Utah 84401, tel. (801)621-0091 or 1-800-464-1713. Could not get ahold of them today so I was wondering if anyone could give me a few more leads. He has found lots of hubs for the 250's... .

Are we talking a 2wd or 4wd? you might try emailing these guys or calling themQuad 4X4 When i emailed them about gettting hubs for my pickup they wanted about $450 a hub though just to warn you

I could be completely off base here but I thought that the 250's and 350's have the same hub, just different adapters for the wheel mounting, might be worth looking into.

The 250 and 350 SRW trucks use the same hubs. A 350 dually uses a different front hub. The hub and dual wheel mounting plate are one piece.



Which model of 350 is it? A dually or a SRW.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Sorry, it does have duals. 93 W350 4x4.

Your looking for a hub that is hard to find there. Every place you call will give you a deer in the head lights look. Most wrecking yards do not part these axles out when they have them. In my area a complete D60 front axle is $1500+ if you find one.

Which cast # is on the hub? 99755 or 100352? you can use this:

or this:

the first cast # shows hits on both sites, the second number draws blanks on both, but you can request a quote.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

The cast # that my brother-inlaw gave me was 10762. Thanks for the sites! You first gen guys are sure helpful!

If you start looking in junk yards, the chevies with 60F have the same brakes, hubs, spindles. I know out here it would be easier to find a chevy 60F then a Dodge.



Call Dougs 4wheelers at 641-628-2755. He is in Pella IA. He has a pile of chevies. And I know a couple years ago I swapped a set of dually hubs for single wheel. It was from a 86 chevy.



I was pricing them from dealers and they wanted $400+ each, Doug swapped me for about $200 each.

Hope this helps.

MMiller,



Will he still be able to use the same front rim? Will the bolt pattern be the same from the GM? Thanks for the tips.

As long as it is an older chevy before the hub centered rims. It should work. I have a set of alumin rims on my truck that were bought for a 72 Chevy C30 I used to have before I got my 93.

 

[MMiller]

The bolt pattern will be the same. Now that I think about it I don't know if the stud size will be the same or not. I don't know what the dodge uses but I am pretty sure the chivy uses a 9/16" diameter stud. I don't have a dually but the chivy here shares rims with the dodges. Just can't mix up the lug nuts.



Ok dually guys, what diameter is the studs on a dually dodge?



Michael

 

[Paychk]

5/8" X 16 TPI for the Dually

 

[MMiller]

There is going to be your glitch then possibly. I do not know for certain what chevy used on their duallies. The single wheel one tons were 9/16" studs. Before buying a chevy hub, a little more research must be done.



Michael

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I will let you guys know how he makes out with all the links and #'s you have given him. Thanks for your help!

 

[Philip]

The C30 I had used 9/16's studs on it. It was a dually.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He finaly found a hub. It was in Edmonton Alta... ..... One of the first places he called but the guy and him had a communication breakdown. Anyways all might be OK, he should have his truck back by Monday. Almost 2 weeks down! Anyways thanks everyone for all your help on this thread.
