I don't know if anybody noticed, or commented about it. I noticed on the VIN sticker, dualies don't have 80 PSI for rear tire pressure... only 65PSI. Maybe in the 450 and up. I have an F-350 dualie...58 front, 65 rear. 80PSI for the dualies would most likely shatter your teeth.
Just my 2 cents.

Yours truly

Duallys also say DUAL for the rear tires too

My 4wd F350 dually says to run 65 front and rear
While my F-superduty says to run 65 front 80 rear

And stock duallies from that generation would have been 215/85/16s, not 235s, IIRC. Who knows, the truck may have left the factory with single wheels/tires and the whole dually conversion done at the dealer.

So "Iambone", after a few years what have you to say about the 'mystery' truck you purchased and how it has survived under your care?
Is it still in your possession?
How is it running?

I think I'm gonna build a headscratcher of my own. I have this F250/460/ZF5. I have a Sterling DRW. I have a D60 with matching gears. I can do it right with all Ford stuff like a dealer would do.

if it truly is a F250 with dual real wheels, it was custom made in someones garage, or by an aftermarket firm, not by ford.
I have 1995 f250 dually by centurion.
