Im still new here but I've been reading up on what it takes to run the big semi wheels on certain axles. I've got an 85 crew cab SRW and I wanna run 6 22s on it. I understand that I can convert my axle over to dually hubs and brakes to make it a C&C rear quite easily. And i understand that the inner wheel would not fit because of the stock leaf springs/frame, but im gonna be building my own rear frame and link setup. so my question is, is it possible to just bolt up the adapters to my axle and run 4 semi wheels if I had the clearance for the inner wheels? Or do I specifically need to have DRW hubs?... Also if it makes any difference, I'll be doing the disc brake swap as well. Thanks
Yes it is possible. Check out "comegetsome's" build thread.
I did the same with my single cab, only had to modify the wheel wells in the bed. All 4 Semi's oout back, the sit really close to the leafs but are fine. My build thread is slow but it is in process. Im buildin a 79 Single Cab.
i have a 1985 dually...Im running a SRW axle out of a 1997-1998 2500 truck...i have 4 semi wheels and didnt have to widen the rear fenders or narrom the frame....i also had room to mount my 2x3 tubing 2 link between the inner wheel and frame....check out my build thread for pics
That's awesome... Thanks for the quick responses guys.
