[QUOTE="mbullen, post: 504144, member: 24594"] When you remove the old hub, you'll recognize the spindle. It will probably be a 1 incher as you suspect. You can simply measure across the diameter of the threaded end or you can use calipers on any part of the length. The backstop will be obvious, too. Worth noting, however, some of the vintage stuff had tapered spindles which were thicker in the rear and tapered going outward. These present their own challenges as there is nothing on the shelf to address these. I have one of these myself and was able to use the standard 1 inch kit but replace the rear bearing and seals with measured pieces from NAPA. [/QUOTE]
