Seen on a trailer this morning

I saw a 36 pickup on a trailer today and am curious about the rear hub configuration. It appears to be wide 5 and 5 on 5-1/2 combination. Being new to the 35/36 years I am looking for a little info on this.

One variation of several early production "open" wide 5 hubs.

Have heard that this version used "left over" production '35 hubs as the center piece; but have never seen one up close.

My Canadian built shipped to NZ 36 has these hubs on all 4 corners. Rocky Mountain hubs I have heard them called.

Are they 5 on 5-1/2 as it appears and can you use either wheel on your truck?

Sorry mine is a sedan.

I've examined these unusual '36 hub/drum assemblies in the past, and i also believe they used '35 hubs as a means of using up stock of old style hubs for '36 production or possibly for service requirements.

My 36 Sedan , Canada to NZ model has the same setup as KIWinUS
