1-8 lug 10 bolt bearing hub ($30) and 2 backing plates ($30). The backing plates have been primed with epoxy primer. Have paypal! $60 + shipping.

Stupid question: whats all the little "bumps" or "texture" on the backing plates?

Just never seen it that bad on plates like these. The only bad rust I've seen on any backing plates are the 1st design ones, pre-'77, and they have thin dust shields spot welded on the plates. The ones I saw were like "what dust shields?!?!" Completely rusted off.![]()

Don't get Kansas wrong but the state does use salt/sand mix on the highways.Same here! Morton plant is 15 miles away!![]()

Theres a salt mine about 6 miles from my hometown and another mine about 30 miles away. Both are major suppliers for road salt.
I just don't think the state uses as much as what I hear about from other states. Kansas has been using a liquid de-icer on the major highways and interstates. It has to be applied while the roads are dry, just before the snow or rain hits. Not sure of the actual ingredient of the liquid de-icer but if memory serves me right, its got chemicals in it rather than salt.
Every now and then I come across a rig that looks like it came from the northern states. But knock on wood, approximately 80% of them have been very minimal of rust.
