Tom is correct. Overson will sell a double splined axle and one hub, install on the front rear, drivers side. I am still looking for some Milemarker hubs at a decent price, called the factory they have 72 sets in stock # 11167-01. I just think the Milemarkers look like they belong on the truck...
My brakes were covered in grease and oil as well last year when I replaced them. The insides of the wheel cylinders were full of rust pudding so I replaced all the wheel cylinders, shoes, seals and rubber hoses front and rear as well. Added a remote reservoir while at it. The most difficult part...
