semi rims
So ive seen a ton of newer dually trucks running around with semi rim conversions on them and I was wondering if anyone else has done this to their old ford. I have the ability to do this fairly cheap (around 800 bucks) because a friend of mine is willing to give me a full set of wheels id just need to buy the adapters. But before I take the plunge I was hoping to see another person that had done this so if you have please share and thanks in advance

Where's these pictures? I think I finally decided the path for my 66 and it involves semi or dually wheels with super singles if it's in the budget but man are they pricey from what I looked at so far.

I have seen some newer F450/ F550's running around with beds on them. I am not sure if they are Ford built or afterwards. Seems like I read somewhere years ago the F450 is possible from Ford with a bed. But I am a partsman NOT a car salesman. Point is,I think OP has seen these trucks that the bed was added. Not the suspension. How's someone gonna fit a 22.5 rim and tire under a pickup fender? The opening not big enough.

I actually just had new white F550 crew cab dually pass me on the highway on Wednesday. Had a pickup bed on it. Also about 2 weeks ago I passed a bigger F series like the white one but it was red. Also had a pickup bed on it. My truck will be sporting floating bedsides so fitting them shouldn't be to bad with a narrowed axle.
