Looking for some axle housing dimensions

hey teeleton maybe you can help me out. Im currently working on a s10 dually and was wanting to change mine to 8 lug. the rear I was gonna use a cab/chassis axle,but Iwasnt sure what to do on the front, any ideas?

Sooooo... you guy's building these S10 duallys going to step up and run some semi's

They must be if they are swapping to 8 lug...

I was going to just get some spindles for a dually and have some conversion arms fabbed up. I haven't really gotten to that end of the truck yet as far as planning everything out, so I haven't figured out what else would need to be done at the frame end of the arms to keep a proper geometry and not have the front wheels laid over at 30 degrees when its laid out.

I got a good look at the front suspension of the dually in the next bay while I was getting tires for my wife's neon, though, and the front spindle seems to have a large adapter of sorts bolted to it so it can run the high offset rims the same as the rear.

I got the measuerments for you

from the slip joint to slip joint on the 14 bolt it is roughly 20.5 and from inside of brake drum to brake drum its about 52.75

and on the 10 bolt dually the slip joint to slip joint is about 18.5 and over all it's 55.5 from brake to brake

I hope that help's

oh on last thing thats on the 73 -91 chev's 3/4 and 1 ton's

They ran 10 bolts in duallys? Heh.. didn't know that. What ring diameter do they use? 8.5"?

Teeleton

yea it's not the small one like the half tons the ring gear is 11.5 I think

yes pig I want to run semis on my s10, but wanted to get some on my 86 crewcab first.
