Whats your truck, you don't have it stated in your sig. or under your name, is it an explorer/navajo or ranger/b-series? Were they stock hubs or aftermarket?

 

[Rosscup]

its a 94 xlt Explorer and yes they were stock hubs

 

[Glen4X4]

Not 100% sure but I believe that the BII was a diff. size hub. If you go to a junkyard ya may find some first gen. explorers with the manual hubs. I think you could even put WARNs on your explorer.

x92Exploder is right, the Bronco II's came with the Dana 28 front axle and the explorers have the Dana35. The hubs probably won't fit, and even if they did, they would break much easier than yours did.

...for sure the 91-94 1st gen manual hubs and the 93-97 ranger hubs are all swappable...if you want to break down and buy new ones i just posted new prices for hubs , including spindle nut sets....btw, the manual hubs were originally made by warn for ford...here's a link to pn#'s and prices...

Thats cool never knew they were WARN brand

 

[Tbars4]

...it's one of those things...i don't think you could call them warn brand but, they are ford, made by warn...
...considering the housings are 24 years old on the first gens, sometimes buying new could be a plus depending on your amount of wheeling...trying to find a used set on here or at the jy can be hard as they are a much wanted item...i'm still looking for spares thats why i broke down and got the prices the other day...still haven't coughed up the dough yet...

 

[Glen4X4]

yeah, I have a spare here at home but I know the prices of'em and kinda hate to sell it incase I ever need it.

 

[Rosscup]

gah i just want some manuals. so on some of the first gens some come with manuals that i can snag a junk yard you guys think? or how about a jeep with a D35?

 

[Glen4X4]

Yeah, other explorers have come stock with manuals like yours but they're more rare since alot of explorers came with pushbutton 4wheel they all came with auto hubs in which alot of people have changed out for WARN, I've heard of people using jeep hubs because they're said to be stronger but I don't know for sure.
