The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun 3800 dually question

What are the differences between the front axles and rear axles of the single rear wheel 3800's and the dually 3800's?

Did the front axles have a different hub, or was it the same axle as a single rear wheel 3800 but with an adapter bolted on to move the mounting surface out?

I'm also curious about the rear axle. Was the hub the only difference, or was the axle narrower or wider than the single rear wheel version?

A while ago I tried digging through parts books to figure this question out
I think the only difference on the rear axle is the studs pressed into the axle are longer to accommodate the extra thickness of two rims
And I need to track down a set of these longer studs for one on my trucks

The front axle I’m not sure as my dually lost it’s special dually front bits long ago and is single wheel style on the front now.

But i also look forward to the definitive answers that hopefully will follow.

Hy whateverpratt, the dually front axle hub is a one piece unit and is obviously different than the single wheel front hub, there is no "adapter" to space the dual wheel out. As far as I am aware the rear axle is the same for either single wheel or dual rear wheel application. the only exception is the one noted by 2ManyTrucks, longer wheel mounting studs for the dual rear wheel application, hope that helps

Thanks guys, that's what I was looking for
