deuce locking hubs help

[rutledge1113]

i have a 59 ford cab on a running gear from a mid sixtys rail road truck that had 2 1/2 ton rockwells under it but its 5 lug not six like my deuce but the locking hub is the same diameter and same amount of bolts i am thinking about moving them to the deuce i was wondering if anyone may have any knowledge of the 5 lug compared to the 6 lug rockwells if the locking hubs might interchange before i take them apart here is i pic of the hub and axel although its not a very close up one any info would be appreciated

They should just unbolt like the spline caps on the deuce. Go ahead and swap them, worst case, they won't fit the deuce splines and you'll have to put them back.

Dang, those axles fit the truck pretty well. Are they narrowed?

no the running gear is not custom built its built for the railroad it had a step van body and railroad wheels under it only thing changed is the cab and custom fabricated bed

Have you tried swapping a lock out yet? It can't take more than 20 min.

those do not look like deuce rockwell double reduction axles
