Have a 95 f450.
7.3l powerstroke. Will be making this into a shortened wheelbase 4x4 machine.
Dana 60 front.

Rig has a dana 80 DRW. I have located some Dodge 3500 SRW dana 80's.
Have been looking all over for a tech write up for a conversion or if it's really possible.
I want to run the housing and disk brakes that my FORD has on the drw but convert to srw for the obvious reasons.

help is much appreciated or if anybody got a link to a tech...

 

take the dual wheels off, and put single wheels on it.

 

tom that wont work he has 10 lug hubs and im not positive but i doubt u will be able to retain the stock disk brakes with any 8 lug setup without some fabbing also remember once u add the transfer case u wont have a parking brake

 

Not going to happen. the F-superduty(F450) has 10 lug wheels. any single wheel is only 8 lug

Your best bet is to get a single wheel axle(I recommend a Sterling 10.25) and reweld the spring perches on the narrower c-n-c pattern. Then you will have the single wheel axle you are looking for with the 8 on 6.5 bolt patter(the same as front)

 

Thanks everyone.
Yes, it looks like the only option then is to buy super singles or go with a sterling rear.

Gonna cost close to the same no matter what--either $$$ for super singles and 5.13 gears for the front...or gears for a sterling and the front.
For 42" plus tires the Dana 80 is better but I guess the sterlings can handle.

 

For 42" tires and the IDI I would want 5.13 gears. They are GUTTLESS

 

I know, I've got 4.10s in my IDI turbo...don't think anything beyond 35 or 36 would work...
That f450 is a Di code f powerstroke though...
Got a intercooler from a 03 for it and some other mods is the plan but it has 5.13s in the Dana 80.
I think I could make that work

 

DOH!!!!
i should have remembered that.
been on nights the past few days, and my brain is not functioning properly.

 

I have 4.10s and 35s in my 97 power stroke. 3.55s would be nice for cruising on the highway Empty, but I use my truck so 4.10s are perfect. 4.56 or 5.13 will be what you want with 42s
