Single wheel to dually

I'm new to this board,but been around 73-87 Chevys for years.Here is my question: I have a buddy that wants to make his single wheel 3/4 ton into a dually.It is a 1980 Chevy 3/4 ton 2wd with a 14 bolt ff. Will we need to put in longer wheel studs to mount dual wheels?? Thanx in advance

You will need Dually C30 hub and rotors for the front. If he is going to use a dually style pickup box, the rear will need either spacers or an axle change to the wider Dually Dana 70 axle.

Yeah he is going to keep the regular eight bolt. Front wheels & rotors,so it's just the rears that will be changed.Will start looking for a dually 14 bolt or Dana 70.

i think Arrowcraft has adaptors where you wouldn't need extended studs.

As stated get 3" wheel spacers and you will be good to go.
