Free wheeling hubs WC56

Post by Ian Jamieson »

Hi guys,
anyone know where I can find a set for free wheeling hubs, new or good 2nd hand for a WC 56?

Thanks

I have Superwinch lockout hubs new, or I have original drive flanges with the splines removed and a bushing installed. Second option will not allow the choice of 4x4, only 2 wd.

I've emaild the seller.
The hubs are for the WC 50 and WC 60 ONLY, not for a WC 56.

The old timers used beer or soda cans, but you'd have to find real old ones for it to work. :wink:

He dosent even know what what a Dodge Weapons Carrier is when you speak to them on the phone but the 400508 hubs fit So whats the difference between the 56 hubs and the rest of the 51/52/53 etc? They fitted on mine perfect

You are probably right .They don.t know what they are talking about .The wc60 has the same engineering number as the wc51/2/3 etc.Ie t214 there for i susspect that it would have all the same running gear as a standard WC 51/2/3 etc The wc60 is a emergency repair chassie{whatever that means ] on a 121 in wheel base chassie [frame] i think that his free wheeling lock outs will be OK .Ray
