History Question???

[78k20]

When/what years did GM use Sears Roebuck manual hubs on their trucks? Were these factory, or some kind of Sears replacement part? Just curious, never heard of them before-saw them on a truck at work today.

Thanks, and Best of Luck,

Mike

Manual hubs generally came on manual transmissions, i.e. trucks with the NP205, and I assume would be Dana / Spicer units. I've only ever had automatic trucks with NP203's converted to part time with Warn hubs, though there's also Milemarkers... and I imagine, somehow, that the Sears are rebadged from one of the aftermarket names like Warn or Milemarker.
