Posted mainly for those who may not know this...

Maybe the wheels were later ones, which the repro wheels are, and the hubs and drums were early 1928 type?


This can crack wheels.

NOTE: Doing the opposite ie putting early wheels on new hubs is also a bad idea.


See Service Bulletin page 328.






On a side note if you have an AA truck and are replacing front hub see SERVICE Bulletin 347.



When replacing old style forged front hub with new pressed steel hub you must also replace old style oil baffle and a bolt with correct parts.
