Cool. I am seeing less and less of these for sale so you have to grab em when you see em. I passed up a nice set at Don Garlits show last Spring, they were only $ 200 for the pair but we were in my roadster and even our overnight bag took up what little space we had.

BTW, just in case you don't know, Wilson Welding makes brand new hubs to use these on early Fords (assuming that is what you are doing). The 46-48 outside hubs from Ford are also getting tougher to find, and the ones from Wilson go on so much easier. Just thought I'd pass that along.

How is the quality of Wilson Welding products?

Very good, Ken, IMO. We have bought their 39 Lincoln brake setups, their Buick to Ford hubs, and their finned backing plate setups. All have been first rate, and Bob, the owner, is a true good old boy. I've had a few conversations with him and he has always been very helpful and courteous.

I'd give them a 10 out of 10. Just a little Texas machine shop operation with a couple of guys, but they turn out some really nice stuff.

Thanks Don, I'm thinking of using them on the truck.

You're welcome Ken. You won't be disappointed, he does business the way you do. Which ones are you thinking about?
