You don't NEED aluminum hubs, you can do other things to make the cast iron
ones work fine. Step one is get them magnafluxed. Step 2 is to drill through
the hubs to make the hub bolts into through bolts. Even if the hub cracks
the bolts will keep it together. The aluminum hub is an elegant solution but
not the only one.

Subject: Re: Aluminum front hubs - Clarification Needed From Uncle Jack
I am on the waiting list from K. Gillanders for the uprated front axle
kits.
The price I was quoted was about $290 per side. Due to funds I have
ordered
with the longer spacers to fit my stock front hubs. In a perfect world I
would
try to get the uprated hubs. Any thoughts as to better front axles
stressing
the stock front hubs/bearings more or (hopefully) less?
Thanks,
