Here is a picture of a cast adapter that converts a stud centering Budd hub for use with open center Dayton rims.

This was on a ford 4X4 plow truck at the Macungie show last weekend. The conversion was done by Marmon Herrington. The original rear axle had Dayton hubs, I would assume that the front axle supplied by MH was only available with Budd hubs, so they also supplied the adapters so only one type of spare would be needed.

So, here is proof that such an adapter exist.

I am still searching to find a set of similar adapters that fit the 10 lug hub centered pattern on the AD Chevy and GMC trucks. 7.25" bolt circle with 5.25 center hole.

I have been told that there were adapters made for this pattern, but I have yet to see proof....
