Help! my uncle's old '72 Dodge W200 plow truck has a broken lockout hub, split halfway around right where the locking ring seats. He doesn't want to spend the *** for a new hub, and used ones are nowhere to be found around here (near Twin Cities,MN). I am a fairly competent welder, though know next to nothing about lockout hubs and such. Is there a way to permanently lock the front hubs so he can plow his driveway this winter? That is all this truck is used for, so drivability isn't an issue. Thanks for any help!

Unfortunately there generally isn't a way to weld up the broken hubs. They are typically made of disimilar metals like aluminum and steel. The other bummer is that its not a very common lockng hub. However, Warn offers new hubs for that application under part number 9072...but they ain't cheap.
