Dualmatic hubs

If you could find a pair what are they worth. I have never seen then offered for sale before.

thanks in advance

Inflation has been hitting these too.  They're going on ebay for more like $60-80, w/out sufficient details to know if they're really good or not.

Many of these old beasts have been sorely abused, not from use, but from improper reassembly.  Bolts torqued so tight that the aluminum tops warp.  Use of toothed or split lockwashers which then gouge out the top caps.  Top assembled to base w/camlocks outside their machined recess, leads to breakage of the hub body.

All in all, buyer beware!  I've passed on many sets simply because the seller could not/would not provide enough details.

There were also many styles made:

If you're going to put them on axles w/threaded ends, you have to get the long ones.

Gary:

Am I missing something?

Not at all.

Your Bendix axles w/threaded ends require a long hub, which were already installed.  Spicer axles don't have the threads so are shorter.

A long hub works with both threaded and non-threaded axles.

A short hub will ONLY work on non-threaded axles.

I'm working on mine as we speak, getting ready for paint, hardest part was getting the rusted springs and detent balls out of the bores, new springs from my toolbox at work, and detent balls from the trans shop I deal with.  These bring back some of my earliest memories of 4 wheeling, my uncle had a jeep wagon (not sure of the year, it wasn't new and this would have been in the 50's) and I still remember the first time I saw him locking the hubs in, couldn't figure out what he was doing until he explained it to me. Funny how some of the early memories stick. I found the picture description regardeing restoring dualmatic hubs on the CJ3 page enlightening. Always something to work on.
