Please help me. Wheel Question
This entire project has been 2 steps forward and 5 back EVERY single time ive worked on it.
Its a 1968 F350 dually, I know this is a dentside forum but maybe somebody on here has had this issue with there dent.
How do i convert to late model single piece wheels. I have the wheels because I read they would work. Now that I bought 6 new tires and mounted them onto my late model wheels, I find that the late model wheels are hub centric and the early wheels are lug centric.
Would it be as easy as changing the hub on the drum. Or????????????
Thanks in advance,
Will

Sounds like you just need the correct wheels. I believe they use terms like coined or not couned and with or without pins. Dually wheels can be a pain to deal with. The term coined has to do with a raised bevel or depression around the lug hole.
In regard to a hub swap, that I am not sure on that one.
Posting a pictue of the center of the wheel and of your hub may also help sort this out.

A truck shop or trailer/truck shop may be able to get them.
Up here, we have 6 Robblees' and they can get stuff like this.

I thought we had the "coined" wheels on a 75 ambulence dually, but they were 16.5s so that still doesn't help. Most all of the ford duallys had a pin to align them. What about trying dodge or chevy wheels, 16" and coined. I am certain that the dually dodges had the coined wheel, same lug pattern. Worst thing might be hole in center is wrong, but you can make that bigger.
