OK, I understand the HOW of flipping the hubs but I'm not to clear on the WHY of flipping the hubs. I picked up four six lug budd wheels with brand new Michelin XDY1 retreads on them - 275 80R 22.5 - and I was asked why not just remove both NDCC wheels/tires and just bolt up the the new wheels/tires to the outside?? I couldn't explain it, so apparently I don't understand it.
From there, I went to Active Truck Parts and saw several six lug budd wheels. I will be picking up four of them. He wants $75 per wheel, no rubber.
I saw TWO five tons in various stages of being stripped. They both appeared to still have their engines, though lots had been stripped from both.
ONE actually had two winches. The front one even had the pulley still mounted and the cable and chain still attached to the front bumper.
The rear winch had already been removed, but appear to have all the parts there. They were asking $500 each.
There was an exhaust manifold with a turbo still attached. I forgot how much.
There was one fuel tank that appeared to be in good shape, still attached to the truck. BUT no pump or other 'guts'. He said $200 for the fuel tank.
One of the trucks had a 'tool box'. The type you normally see on a tractor, which it MAY have been at one time, but both rear axles are missing, so it's hard to say. He said "$50 - $75" for the tool box.
SO, are these prices OK? Too high? Too low?
