How similar are the front wheels/hubs on 67-72 to what would have been on a 59 dually 1-ton? Just wondering how common these rear wheel spacers are. I'm finding that 19.5 wheels and rims are somewhat scarce, and that it's a lot easier to find 16 in. dually rims.

Looks like the 14 bolt rear I have, no spacers.

I had mistakenly thought the spacer was removable, not part of the hub. I knew folks would have the right answers when I posted!
