You might want to tell them what year your 1-ton truck is. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | ...I want to get away from the dually look. Thoughts. Don't think you can just swap the dually type wheels for normal "single" wheels. For sure not on the front, you may get away with it on the rear, but would have an odd track width. To switch from dual wheels to singles usually requires changing hubs.

If that is not the case then I have a lot of work in front of me. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Check the master parts catalog and see what the parts differences are, hubs and brakes and such.. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I have seen AD 1Tons with an adapter on the front to take the dually type wheels. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I beleive you're right about the adapter on the front, TF trucks are the same way. However, and correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the dual wheel 1 ton ADs have larger rear brake drums that rims smaller than 18" won't clear?

The second question, a 16in rim will clear the rear brakes. I had a junk one that I threw on there and it fit.
I am now wondering more about the adapter | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I used 16 x 6 rims on my 51 1 Ton. The setback is important in that if it is more than 4", they will interfere with the tie rod ends. Mine do clear the rear drums. These rims were common with the big three trucks and vans, sometime in the 70s and 80s. There is also a trailer rim that is almost identical. | | |
