Chevy43, I have really admired your Panel and the patina it has. It surely takes decades to acquire such a finely aged look, doesn't it. I still have the pictures I snapped of it from '98. San Jose conv. saw Jacque Littlefield bring His Stug 3. Man that tank sure sounded great, I couldn't believe I was standing next to it.
I am happy to know that you found another set of locking hubs too. Having had the experience of both types, which do you think are the better set?

I stripped off all the paint on my truck and repaired the rust so no more patina. It hasn't been painted yet though...

The 4 lever hubs leaked oil and were kind of a pain to flip 8 levers to use them but they stuck out a little less I think and seemed pretty strong. I'd say the Warn style are better because they are quick and look a little better too.

Wow Chevy43, she is looking good. Are you going to paint her O.D. like Tonywan Knobby? I hope so. I know I asked you about your side windows back in '98 but it has been some years. So, how did they come to be installed in your truck?
