I don't think an apology is in order at all. I, too, wanted to know if this
was a feasible course of action. Courtesy of members of this list, I found
out that it is NOT.
I still think locking hubs are a great idea, but $500 is a high price for
elegance in a 13,000 lb. truck! I think what started all of this was $1.85
a gallon diesel fuel!

I'm sorry for leading the list into this whole thing. The only point I was
making was that it is possible without too much fuss to take certain
drivelines out of the equation. As far as my vehicle, I may install front
hubs some day, but mine is a toy and when I want to steer towards the woods,
I dont want to have to replace axles. If anybody wants advice on doing what
I've explained earlier, e-mail me off list. For those who say "but why?"
because somebody asked! Besides, if we were really worried about mileage,
would we drive a deuce?
