Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
KEEP THE WHEELS or CHANGE OVER?
OK Guys would you keep the wheels or would you change over to one ton? If so WHY? As far as changing tires. There are very few people who will change split rim wheels! They Run when I pull up. "Sorry INSURANCE will not let us change those" They call them Widow Makers" DO I have any options on other rims that may fit this the way it is. YES This is a serious question. I saw a solid ring (non split rim)that was on a Firetruck one time, but the guy knew nothing about where to get them and how to mount them. I know some of you have more info for help on this one.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Is there any way to convert the large 5 lug to the 10 bolt without adapters? Just curious for my own sake. Might wanna tackle one of these one day in the future...

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Your cheapest option Tallcrown is to switch axles from a Kodiak or similar truck. Those are dayton hubs you have and I doubt you'll find a non split rim to put the tires on. You might check school buses for axles and wheel parts. That will be your best bet on finding non split rims. Are your tires 22.5's?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Years ago when I was just out of high school, i worked for a company that made dump trucks. If I remember right, we use to convert those to bud style wheeld?hubs. Which would let you bolt up regular 10 bolt semi rims. Might try a search for converting from dayton to bud hubs.
Sweet looking rig by the way

My rear and front already have Disc Brakes. Bearings are great. The look is TUFF. But the split rim is the only thing that bothers me, Because people will not change the tires for me. Can anyone lead me to tubeless wheels that will fit on this. I even found a picture of the adapter to mount these on a regular tire machine.But no wheels yet. Thanks for all our input so far guys. |

I'm not promoting it... It's another crew cab, that's what I thought this thread was for
