This is a pic of my father in laws latest project. Truck is an ‘81 IH 4070B. He was wondering and I too, what style of axles, drums and hubs these are? We’ve got another 4070B but it has a different set up than this.![]()

Identify this style of drums and axle hubs

If it has std bearings, swap it to hub pilot. cheaper and 10x easier to service.

I've worked on alot of different things, with a good amount of old IH experiences. Never seen this. But I have a thought. 80's they built some trucks with disc brakes. Could this be the original disk, converted back to drum?
Never seen one in person. Heard descriptions. Seen trailers converted back. Never seem the trucks in person.
Idk, this is only my thoughts.homeskillet, W923, mile marker 27 and 1 other person Thank this. -
