Hi guys. I just traded a guy my 95 Grand Prix for a 91 F150 XLT 4x4. He said the front end was making an odd noise 'grinding' when he drove it before, so they took out the front driveshaft, it still made the noise, then the manual locking hubs, that made the noise stop.

The innards of the hubs looked damaged, as if improperly installed, the bots were bent but the gears looked fine on the hub and in the axle. All I have is the old caps. Here are some pictures.

From the looks of it, I should be able to buy a manual hub set and just bolt it on right?

Its a 91 EXT cab with the 5.0L - What axle is this? im familiar with the jeep stuff, but ive never seen an open tube axle like this before.
