The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts spindles, wheels, and tires

I can't really see a problem with going with an 8 lug hub.

One issue I see is with the brakes. I would go with a 52 and newer, in order to get Bendix style brakes. Of course the 3800 trucks will have the larger brake drums.

Wheels, not for sure what to tell you. Are you going with SRW or Dually? Wanting to update to newer Steelies or Aluminum? If you go SRW, the most backspacing you can have is 4.25" don't know about duallies.

One of the advantages of going to 8 lug, is being able to swap in a later 14 bolt axle for better gearing.

Anyhow, I'm all for it.
