Was the truck a dually from the factory? If not you may have a single wheel axle under the truck now and if that is the case then you will only need to buy wheels for a single wheel set up of course if the truck is a true dually you have the front hubs to convert as well and I think you just have to remove the adapters for the dually offset wheels.

amen,bob btw the rears usually only have longer studs so a single wheel will work , on the fronts just remove the adaptor . if i remember right it was only so you wouldnt have to cary two different spare tires,bob
