? about converting a dually front D60 to SRW

I'm getting a 90' F250 4x4, and the guy has a ~90' kingpin D60 front for sale also, but it is set up for dually bud wheels. I've heard that all the parts that I need to convert it to SRW will be on the TTB F250 axle. Is this true? This would save me some money and time. Thanks guys.

I think your post is a bit confusing, but after thinking about it. It is a Front axle set up from a dually truck correct?

all you have to do is unbolt the dual wheel adapters off the dually axle, and put the wheels on.

yup. those huge butt uggly aluminum things that knock you in the shins every time you walk past it with no tires on it.

try unbolting them, and stuffing a regular SRW rim on. it may just surprise you, and fit.
