Yes you can just switch out the axle, but that doesn't make it a track hub. The shell shape were a bit different and I don't think the track hubs got an oil-port and clip until the 80s. This of course only applies if you care about "correctness." enjoy, Brandon"monkyeyman"Ives back to the back porch with a Belgian beer in Cd'A, ID.
