1 ton

went yesterday and picked up my K30 dually. i'm going to be putting the front axle, and gears out of the rear axle under my C/K10 project. i'd say i got a pretty decent deal. $800 for the whole truck. body is rough, and will most likely be totally scrapped except for the hood. it came with 2 SM 465s and 2 NP205s, too, so i might be able to sell them and get some of my money back.

That's what I was referring to with the "SRW Hub Bodies."
If you remove the DRW hub bodies and bolt on some SRW versions, the axle will be the same width (69" WMS-WMS) as a normal SRW axle. This is the only huge difference in GM dana 60's that I am aware of.

However, SRW hub bodies are one of those highly coveted parts that wont be cheap. GM sells them new for around $190-200 a pop. You can also buy aftermarket for around the same price.

Or you can get hummer rims and keep the dually hubs.

which is what a lot of rock crawlers do. i dont think im going to go that route, as i dont like the idea of a 16.5" rim, beadlock or no beadlock. sidewall flex is your friend, no use killing it with a 16.5" rim when a 15" rim is easily adapted.

I hear you. The 16.5" rims on my Chevy are alot stiffer then the 15" tires on my GMC. Both BFGs (well the mud(16.5) and ATs(15)).
