Now am i in the dark or is this daully ranger an odd ball or a custom build?? it had 6-30x9.59R15's??
it had 2.9L V-6 5spd manual not sure what gear's tho??

 

I saw one yesterday, just in passing so I didn't get a chance to look at it close up. It was blue, std. cab I think, wondered the same thing myself.

 

They never made them, but I do recall someone saying you could get a kit to make them.

 

Yes, there was a kit. I had 1 for a while back in mid 90s. I did the kit. It was a fenders, spacers and new wheels in the kit. Got alot of stares with it.

To many to mention.

 

so then this was a custom Built truck then??

Ok cause i have seen the Toyota,nissan,and mazda dually's.. they were mostly camper's and pluming truck's..

So i was just wondering if ford had one too... But i guess not..

 

I seen a mid 80 ranger camper with the dual wheels.

 

i saw a 82-88 with the dually fenders, but instead of duals it had real wide rear tires. j.c. whitney has rims and fenders you can buy to build it. i thought about it once, but decided against it. the 7.5 rear end can only take so much no matter if it runs duals or singles. i like the look though.

 

The bolt on Dual wheel kits like J.C. Whitney offers are dangerous if you carry heavy loads. They don't increase your truck's GVWR. A true one ton dual rear has two sets of bearings a side; centred on the tires. A single rear with bolt-on duals still has a single bearing set a side. As a matter of fact the outside tire causes sideways pressure on the bearing because the force is no longer centred on the bearing. The mini motorhome builders, that used Toyota chassis's, had this problem in 1985 when they bolted a second wheel to the rear tires. There were numerous failures that caused accidents, lawsuits and a safety recall by Toyota in the US. Toyota fixed the problem in 1986 by supplying a full floating, dual wheel, 6 bolt, 1 ton rear on their truck chassis for the motorhome builders. Don't use these bolt on dually kits and be an accident waiting to happen. As the Toyota motorhome axle failures of the mid 80's models proved; the lucky one's rolled into the ditch and not into opposing traffic when their bearings failed and the axles broke.

 

I wasn't building one Dip stick i was just saying I saw one ........
