Is it possible to Convert Campy freehubs to Shimano freehubs?
Im thinking of purchasing some wheel if this is possible.

More information please - ie. are they actual Campagnolo wheels or third-party wheels with Campagnolo hubs or third-party wheels with Campag-compatible hubs?
It is certainly possible, but not for all wheels.

You should also search for the thread about using SRAM components as a link between the two component families.

I know it's possible for Campy, Fulcrum, Mavic, Zipp wheels as a minimum. Usually you just need to buy a compatible freehub body.
But back to the question... Are you mad? No sane person would convert from Campy to Shimano?

Shimano, they make fishing reels don't they?
Ok, I'll run now.

The shimano wheels went in a flash
... I was just wondering if it was an easy process and there are major difference in the actual hub not just the freewheel?

Same question goes for me. I have found some American Classic 420 for a goos price but they have a campy freewheel.
Is it a straightforward/expensive swap?
