Dually Wheels: Keep your eye out
I'm looking to buy a set of factory dually wheels. I have done some searching with no luck, a few on ebay, mostly sets of 4 and singles.
If anyone catches any on any of the forums for sale, let me know!!
Thanks in advance
EDIT:also looking for the front dually adapters, rear adapters, and dually fenders

possibly. I know the axle is different, however you can buy adapters to go on the rear axle. If I swap axles, I would probably swap both front and back.
Also, I sent you a PM neal

Check out Chrome Wheel. His website isn't organized real well, but lots of good info there. They sell 8 bolt to 10 bolt spacer/adapters so you can run the Alcoa commercial truck wheels and tires. Not cheap! Some pretty cool setups in the picture gallery.

You may already know this, but you also need a spacer for the front or it will look funny. The front wheels on a factory dually track between the rear wheels, so the front is a little wider too. Also, if you don't convert the front you'll have to carry two spares.

The dually adaptor kits come with fronts also. All the kit's I seen front adaptors are poorly engineered, as they don't come with holes for allowing an impact extension to fit through for torque-ing down the lug nuts. That means you have to get crafty with a large cresent wrench or get a large crows foot and do some math, you can't even fit a box end in there.
Just remember, dual rear wheels do NOT increase you load capability, even on the 350 the rear axle is the limiting factor and not the single rear tires in load capability. I have a '00 F-250 here with a bent rear axle and a dually adaptor kit. The kit makes the rear wheels stick out about 2 inches further than stock duallies, just so you know.
I personally do not recommend doing them after having a company truck with them. Servicing it is a nightmare, the spacers do NOT want to come off as they practically weld themselves to the hub because of the alloy they are made of. Rear brakes is a 6 hour job. Brakes on duallies normally take about a half hour once it rolls in.

Dually rims
I am new here to this forum. This is my first post.
I have a set of dually rims. Actually I have 2 sets!! I have one set of 7 that came off of a 1972 Winnebago, which I was told were Dodge rims. I also have a set of 6 taht came off of a 1978 Ford F350. I do not have the spacers or adapters. Just the rims. E-mail me for more info or go to my website for further contact info. I do not have them listed for sale yet. The Ford rims I have to get the rubbers off to go on my 1975 GMC Dump truck. The Dodge rims have 4 good rubbers and 3 not so good. I was going to take them off also.

I bought a set of factory dually alloy rims off the local Craigslist back around Christmas time for $240. BUT, they were pretty rough and the more I looked at them the more I disliked them and I ended up spending $450 having them professionally stripped, polished, and clear powdercoated. So it wasn't that great a deal after all.
I still need some dually center caps if someone can help out an FTE brother.

You and me both. It's tough out there. I have an '02 F350 SRW that I'm thinking about converting to a dually for towing our 34' 5er. I also see a lot of singles for sale. I've thought about buying steel wheels and having them powder coated, but it's not what I really want.
