What technique did you use to ensure the hub was perfectly centered for the SLW hub modification?

the stock clod wheels have 5 nubs on the back that key into a stock clod hub, these 5 nubs perfectly fit an slw hub inside them. (by perfectly i mean very tightly) just take your time enlarging the hole and keeping it centered, the tighter you make it fit the slw hub the stonger itll be. | |

RolandRockShop's power is out. So it might be a bit for updates. We got a good snow across much of Arkansas on Tuesday.

I've got so much steering with my truck I'm tempted to pull the rear steering off of mine for a little while too.

I was doing some monster truck day dreaming. I too am a fan of USA-1. The 1988 body truck was still running leafs and factory (modified) frame rails. Parma has a SS 454 Chevy body. That's the same body as the 88 truck. If I can ever score the cash, I think that USA-1 styled truck would be a cool one to replicate. I volunteer camera duty when you guy's get these bad rig's together. Not saying I won't cuss ya'll but, I will still film for you guys. |
