Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Have you had a chance to shop NV4500's around Nashville? Just curious what the going rate is. I found a salvage one for $450 plus core, and a rebuilt with warranty for $1075, prob also plus core--which I don't have. So another buck and a half for that, I imagine.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I have been looking for a 3500 or 4500, I've found a few but none I want to pick up yet. I have actually been debating on buying a whole truck so I know I get a good one. lol

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Good idea. That rebuilt didn't have shift tower, stick, bellhousing, release arm, throwout bearing, flywheel, slave cyl, master cyl---I know some of that stuff you'd want new anyway, but I'm jus sayin....

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
BTW--while I've got your thread 'jacked for my own education, what do you use for hubs and rotors when you put a dropmember on a 45 yr old one ton? Are the spindles set up for hubs/discs that bolt up to the spacers it already has, to compensate for the wheel offset?

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
[QUOTE=Rusbuilt;5891543]I'll be running 73-87 1ton 3" drop spindles and rotors. All I have to do is install the 1 ton ball joints in the PB arms.
Aren't the lug studs in a big spacer that bolts to the hub? Like 3" deep and 7 or 8" around, or is my memory fuzzy? If so, I guess you just get a stock one for a 73-87 1 ton, huh? Or IS that the hub? And that T56-in-a-C30 idea is intriguing! Damn, if it can handle the torque of a Viper V10, it ought to be able to handle a HD truck pulling the occasional trailer! They have a funky output shaft though.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I'm not sure I'm following your question.. Big spacer? Are you referring to 10 lug adapters?

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
No, I'm talking factory stuff for 8 lug. You're saying the front wheel bolts to a hub face that is the same as on a C20? So the control arms are longer? Or is the spindle designed to "stick out" farther? I mean---to compensate for the 9" or so backspacing of the front wheels.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
The only thing C20 I am using is the frame itself. I will be running c30 PB arms, 73-87 ball joints and spindles. With factory dually hubs/rotor.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Ahh! A picture's worth a thousand words! Its the outer half of the rotor/hub I was trying to describe. That answers my question. If you get the hub for a 83-87 DRW C30, that "spacer" as I was calling it, is just the outer half of the hub. Thank you--now I don't have to worry about scrounging the salvage yard!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Is Nate making your arms shorter so the wheels will tuck?

Thanks Mike Quote:
I'm not sure. I went ahead and placed the order for the arms with Dave so I could have it all cut with my dropmembers and I should be hearing from Nate about what exactly I should do on the arms. I welcome any input, especially from a wise suspension man like yourself!!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I do know the dm has a narrowed track width so that will help and if I do run semi wheels they will have a huge offset. I may be ok with a factory length arm.

The 73-87 bagged dually guys run dually hubs with narrowed arms, or 1-ton single wheel hubs with "lengthened" arms. I'm not sure if the Dropmembers narrowed track width will be enough. Have you mocked up your front end, with the wheels you will be using, yet? The stock set-up won't tuck. As in this member's truck. (I would ask Nate what he thinks)

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I've been meaning to ask you--what's the difference between a 3500 and a 4500? And what is the 3500 in?
Here's a 3500 for that appears to be much less $ than 4500's http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHEVROLET-19...5ac08f&vxp=mtr JK
