You've pretty much done the swap then. It's really assuring to me to know you've done exactly what I'll be doing with this truck for not just a little while, but heck 10 years is more than enough for trial. I've always heard horror storys with wheel spacers but I think it'll be okay.


Any idea where to go for spacers or any recommendations? I know spacers depend on lug centric, hub centric etc type wheels. I plan to just run stock 16 in steelies.


There's 2 machinists I know of here that do Dana 60 single wheel conversions. I think I'm going to give one a ring as soon as I register the truck. One of them is literally the next town over, if i'm not mistaken said he fabricates some stuff for ORD when I met him. I have heard though that the machined dually hubs arn't the greatest. I wouldn't know. Seems to me it wouldn't be a big deal



thanks again.




edit: and nice truck! I've seen your thread on that one. C10 body on K30 right? Always thought about doing that. There's plenty of clean c10's not enough K30's....and most of the c10s were highly optioned whereas the K30's were base models usually...



edit:2 I my as well include a walkaround of the truck for anyone interested.

They have 8-lug options. For 3" wide, you need the larger 9/16 studs....
