W500 Lockout Hubs

[Matthew Welcher PWA]

Searching for a set of Lock Out Hubs for a 1968 W500 with a Napco Front Axle. The outer Stub shaft is a 10 spline, 8 hole hub, center to center is 5 3/8 bolt pattern

Yes Sir I double checked with him. Seems to be a possibility but very rare it seems. The Truck is a 1968.

Yes, Napco & Marmon-Herrington were big 4x4 conversion companies back then. If it's a Napco then it just means it was not a factory 4x4, but likely a conversion.

I suspect those hubs will be hard to find.

The truck has a very neat history, spent it's entire life at a steel mill pulling railroad cars around. It had airtanks and gladhands installed to power the brakes on the train cars.
Im waiting to see pictures of the truck.

I do recall seeing a copy of an advertisement for a 56-57 ish Dodge 2 ton 4x4 made & used for pulling railcars. I don't recall if it was a factory "W500" or a conversion, possibly Coleman.

Would love to see some pictures of Harry's truck

It does appear to be a Napco Conversion, Stamped Napco on the housing and the axle flange. It is a 3,000 original mile truck. Or whats left of it, it led a pretty rough life as it sounds.

Yes, those axles are way different than the "stock" W500 axles.

Thanks for posting them.
