10 bolt hubs for Deuce

[wehring]

Any interest in some 10 bolt hubs for the deuce?? Will allow the use of standard HEMTT and 5 ton wheels w/o the need for adapters.

Yes. More details please.

Ouverson Engineering

I just talked with Randy at Ouverson. He has a Wicked 6 alloy hub that he builds. He is going to modify his program (minimal effort) and build a set of 10 bolt hubs for me to test the market for this product.

He has not seen the demand for 5ton wheels being adapted to the deuce.

I am not making any money from this... just trying to network other options for our SS members.

Can he keep them under, at, or real close to his price for the Wicked Six ?

Certainly sounds like a decent idea. More options with the 10 lug than the 6 lug. Alloy hubs certainly takes the weight down quite a bit.

I think this could be huge.

do the wicked six hubs use the same bearings as the stock?

a zerk..

I was actually looking around the net for this a week or so ago. For ANYONE who made 10-lug hub conversions, all I found were a few for 8-lug pickups. Anyone that made adapters would have to charge a fortune, not to mention that you'd have to run adapters. I'd be seriously interested, then I could consider running Alcoa's

 

[atankersdad]

Sign me up if the price is more reasonable than the modified wheels.. This sure beats reworking my wheels.

 

[pigpenkiwi]

Cool idea

 

[mudguppy]

interested in 4.

same bearings

Yes the wicked 6 hubs use the same bearings ar the original.

 

[vtach]

I would be interested pending cost.

 

[Alredneck]

If the price was right, it would be a great way of getting into some combat rims on the duece or moving up to a more heavy duty bigger rim. Also ability to run commercial tires for longer tread life. Sounds interesting, but would like more info, like cost of a set and warranty, any type of mods need to my axles to make them work. Stuff like that.

adapter plates

I too was looking for data on adapting to 10 bolt and found Chuck's Trucks. They make adapter plates but they want $2K for them!

This will be a "correct" way to put 10 bolt wheels (even commercial alcoa) on your deuce.

[wehring]

No modifications needed

Straight bolt on replacement. Hubs in or out on rear just like originals. The only difference between the stock and Ouverson is going to be the 10 bolt pattern instead of a 6 bolt.

There are other differences ( material, weight, etc etc) but they are of no concern to our application.

the wicked 6 are $475 per pair?

 

[Jakob]

the wicked 6 are $475 per pair?

I couldn't find anything that said if that was each, or a pair. If that's each, it's pretty steep. If that's a pair, then that a pretty fair price IMO. I expect the price to be a little bit more being as there's 4 more lugs on the hub.

I had thought of machining new hubs as well, i chose instead to make up a p[late to adapt the hemtt wheels to the deuce.... i will have the first 6 done in the am i think, they will be cool, but it is not a simple as a hub, i had to machine the centers out of the wheels to get it all right.....

a hub would be a nice idea

 

[avengeusa]

actually, it would be cool if someone could adapt a 5 ton hub to the deuce, it is most times easier to build something via modification of an existing part than to start from ground up.....

I wish i had a 5 ton hub....

I think that this is a great idea. Let me know how much they end up costing.

Also....it MIGHT make more sense just to put 5 ton axles under a deuce.

I have thought about 5 ton axles, but prices are a lot higher than doing the wheel work
