Hello,
what would be the easiest way to convert my 1951 chevy 1 ton to dual wheels?

I'm converting my '51 1 ton flatbed to a pickup bed, which means I'm going to have to also swap the dually axle with a 1 ton single.
Were you wanting the keep the same ratio on the new one? I believe 1 ton duallys came with a 5.14.

I have a '54 GMC 1-ton dually and can look at it to answer questions for you if you like.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 19 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 19 | I want to run the same gears as my truck came from the factory with 5.14 gears, I would like to swap out to the proper parts for my year,
my father drives semi and in in texas alot so maybe we could work out a deal.
I need to find front and rear axles and 6 rims.
