I used a router. It works really slick but to get it over the 60 hub I had to use 2 different bits and had to take off a lot of material. My 60 was from a 79 ford. If I had to do it over I would find a way to turn the hub down because the wheels aren't going to last with the amount of material left.
This was just the first step. I don't have pictures of the second step. The second bit took out a 1/2" of material in a reverse chamfer type. I used the bearing off of the first bit though so that it would only take out 1/4" of material.
Also Advanced four drive has made a jig for their lathe to turn them. They charge like $50 a wheel or something to do them.
Finished wheel

Lip removed

Lip that needs removed

Why do you say that? It leaves the same material between the hub hole and the bolt circle as any other wheel made for a one ton.

Just use the router, it's stupid easy and can be done in under an hour!

The Ford 60 (from a 79 anyways) has a huge lip on the wheel mounting surface unlike any other one ton axle making it so alot of material has to be removed to make them fit. So much so that I would recommend turning that lip on the hub off.
Only pic I could dig up but you can see the lip on the hub.

yeah i've been told a chevy front 60 and 14 bolt they bolt right up but the fords have bigger hubs so they won't work and looks like i'm not the only one to paint the insides of the h2 rims like lewis thanks guys i'll try the router

My 1989 ford dana 60 bolted right up. The rear dana 70u needed a grinder for about 10 minutes on each side and I was being careful

Thats wierd because those hubs on my rig are not the stock 1/2" lug hubs. I switched them out to the 9/16" lug hubs that came off a 90 or so. Do your hubs look like the ones I posted with a lip?
