I would say it could go either way. Check your glovebox. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
Warns as factory? When did GM quit using Spicers as the manual hub?

Quite a ways back. My '86 K30 had Warns from the factory.

Pictures look like it has the Warn standards on it.
I've never seen a factory set of premiums, only standards.

Are they the cheesy (1991 D60 I had) plastic ones?
Not commenting on how strong they are, they just looked cheap to me. Didn't notice who made them, but now that I think about it, they do not look like the older Spicer pieces.

On 1/2 & 3/4 ton trucks 1980 was the last year of Spicer manual locking hubs and on K-30's 1981 was the last year for the Spicers . HTH's Tom

I'll have to look at CUCV hubs next time I see them.
The Blazers (M1009 IIRC) I thought had the black plastic "square" knobs on them. The ones in the diagram look to have the contoured knob, does that denote premium vs. "standard" Warns?
I believe the '91 D60 I had was also equipped with the "square" knobs on the hubs as well.

We had to put manual hubs on my grandfathers 91 Suburban. It came factory with automatics. Manual is the only way to go
I thought they were auto on all by then too.
As a matter of fact, in '86 or '87. GM stopped offering auto hubs on the D60's. Perhaps after a re-design they came back, but not any earlier than '89 on the D60.
