I made my own back in the 70's. Put a lot of miles flat towing my 67 Chevelle wagon and my buddy's 65 full size Chevy. Sold them a few years ago for almost nothing. My 57 Chevy wagon still has the tow bar brackets on it.

Duane is correct here.....and the Chassis work shop there was run by Randy Dietzel and was associated with Bob Daurenheim if I recall right....

NMW had at least one robot welding station there and was running once when I was there talking to Randy.....I wondered who was back there because I did not see anyone....Randy filled me in. Never saw that before. making engine stands and transport legs.....and yes NMW was in Hackensack before Raritan. Not sure who owned it when it was in Raritan.....maybe Bob Daurenheim.....I knew his brother Al.....he worked for Van Iderstines.....

Now since Ken is not doing a live from report I think we are ok babbling about all this useless trivia......LOL

This is kind of crazy.....50 year old tow hubs would get such interest.....

These hubs require a 5 bolt 4 3/4 inch wheel. They will bolt onto 3 different sizes....5 bolt 4 1/2 inch, 5 bolt 4 3/4 inch, and 5 bolt 5 inch. Here is a picture...

Sure, I want to keep them in the "family"...I never used these hubs, but carried them with me in case I broke the rear end. (never did)....I ground towed thousands of miles, like most old time racers....many will remember taking a slow speed turn too sharp, and the front wheels turning the wrong direction......you would hurry up and run back and correct the steering wheel....LOL

I don't have an asking price.....like everything else in my shop, I would rather things go to a good (racer) home... I found one set of these hubs when I searched the internet, and the asking price was $450.00...................that is just stupid...crazy. So, to answer your question...I really don't have an asking price. No, I am not trying to get rich on these things.....I am getting old and would like to clean out my shop a little.
