IF i remember correctly they did a 5 lug swap tech article on Ernie's stock truck project in MT.....& again IF i remember correctly the yota hub bolted right up to the MM spindles..... now i could be completely wrong.....  Max can tell you if my memory is correct ..........

Ive never had a single problem with AIM drop spindles, got em on three trucks right now and have used them for years in the past. just thought id throw that out there also lol

Thanks Ernie for the Info This will work for a D-50 I assume right? If so this just became my bible for working on this truck of mine!
