Locking Hubs
« on: January 30, 2016, 01:35:17 AM »
So I am in the market for some locking hubs for my 77 Chevy K10 pickup...any recommendations on what brand? I looked at Warn and they seemed pretty solid.

Lets all ask the proper question before giving answers.

Do you have a NP203 or NP205? If you have a NP203 locking hubs won't do you much good without other work. If you have a NP205 then giver

Thanks for the info. I am pretty sure it is a NP203 since the shift pattern I have is LOW LOC, LOW, N, HIGH and HI LOC. But I would have to confirm this by looking at it. What should I look for?
It's a 77 4x4 350 custom deluxe short bed

Thanks in advance

Depending on how dirty it is there should be a metal data tag on it, forget if it's front or back side.

Just look at the back side of the transfer case. Its most likely a NP203 so locking hubs won't do you any good.

Okay...I'll take a look when the weather clears up. The hubs that are on it now are the ones that came on it, as far as I know they are not automatic hubs. So I did change the bearings out and it appears to have two 4 prong nuts that hold the bearings in, a spring, and a flange which all held with a clip.

That would be a NP203. You probably have slugs in the hubs for your truck. You would need a few more parts than just locking hubs.

You would need a Mile Marker part time kit as well as locking hubs to make them work properly.

Take the front drive shaft out. Try to drive it. If it wont move in two wheel drive the case has not had a part time kit installed.
