dually wheel help
I was think one day I'd like to have a rear dual wheel truck. Like a cab and chassis truck with the tire tucked up close to the bedsides. I believe a stock single rear wheel truck such as my 70 3/4 ton gmc has ample room for dually wheels in the rear. I like the cement mixer look with a wider tire up front and the dually in the rear vice 6 wheels all the same size. My questions: can I mount dually rims on my dana 60 or do I need a cab and chassis dually rear and if I do are the rear springs space the same? The following sites sells dually rims but I'm not sure how to read it. Aren't the duall rims reversible? (i.e. the inner rim can also be the outer) http://www.southwestwheel.com/chevywheels.htm
What I was thinkin was a 33" tire on 10" wide rims up front and the 34" tire on 6.5" dually rims in the rear. The 33" is closer to 34" tall and the 34" is slightly under 34" tall per the interco web site. All rims would be 16" diameter.

I put dual wheels on a 72 3/4 ton i used to own you will have to put in longer studs and they will hang out the bed a tad
I always wondered about the cab and chassis rearend I talked to an old guy once he said he had a 74 that he put a cab and chassis rearend in and he said he had to put in wheel tubs I cant vouch for this thou. |

So you used actual dually wheels and not the kit that jc whitney sells that allows you to use two stock non-dually rims? Are dually wheels dished out enough from the back side to clear the drums?
