Hey all,

Peterbilt project hit another snag. Tried converting the 10 lug to 8x6.5 and didnt work. so now i found a 2000 F450SD 8x225mm monotube front axle but just got my hands on a '99 F350 4.10 DRW axle 8x170mm....can i bolt the 8x170 hubs (spacers as its a dually front axle) up front? not sure if the bolt pattern on the rotor will work...ANYONE do this conversion? otherwise i was thinking adapters up front as i can widen the front track abit if i had to, but dont want to go 170mm to 225 adapters out back, as i think its too much weight for those...ideas? suggestions?

thanks
Ron

I will have a front 90 F-superduty 10 lug set up if anyone is interested....

rims and tires too...all 6

 

Going by eyeball measurements...

I think you might be able to swap the entire F-350 dually front spindle/hub assembly (all the way up to the ball joints) over to the 450 monotube axle.

You will also have to use the F-350 rotor as the F-450 rotor won't fit on a F-350 hub. Which of course also means that you'll have to use the F-350 caliper as well.

Good luck. Let us know if the swap works!
