Philip I don't know if you just want some tow hubs or specifically want the Lakewoods, but I did flat tow back in the late 60's with a set I made patterned after the Lakewoods.
I remember using a spindle and bearing setup from a early 50's chevy with a plate welded to the spindle with holes drilled for the bolt pattern for the towed vehicle.
I pulled a B stock Chevelle to the races many times with those flat tow hubs.
That has been so long ago I do not remember what happened to those. They probably went with the race car when I sold it I just do not remember.
