Dually Question

Hello, I have a 72 F350 dually with disk brakes. Is it possible to remove the adapter looking peice from the rotors and run single style rims? Are the rotors or calipers the same on dually and single? Is the rear a different width than on a single wheel truck? Thanks

the hubs are differant on the rear, and i dont think you can pull the spacer off and run singles on the front. UNLESS,some one has added the spacers. there are kits to adapt the single wheel trucks to dual wheel, and they can be had with the front spacers also.

Thanks Jim, It's a factory dually. I didn't know which parts may be the same? Does anyone know if the spindles and calipers are the same? Thanks

Hi, I checked with the local wrecking yard and they looked it up 71-74 F-250 and 71-75 F350 spindles are the same but calipers are different Rich
