F350 questions
Hello gang... Looking to build a 2wd puller truck. My uncle has a 65 - 66 F350 Dually that he is offering to me. My questions are as follows.
What is the length of this truck? (need to know if it will fit on our trailer)
What is the bolt pattern for these wheels? (I know it is a 6 bolt but can I buy some cheap wagon wheels that will fit?) I will have to make wheels for the rear (will be single). Will 15's work with the stock rear end?
Anybody have a guess of what rear end is under this old girl?
I will also be looking for a box if anybody has one for a decent price in the IA/NE/KS/MO/OK/MN area's (those are the states I get too most or could make a valid case to go to with the wife...)
Thanks,
Chris

The Wheel base is located on the warranty plate. There is no way to tell with out using a tape rule the legenth of the body.

The pattern will be the standard six lug and 17 inch wheels. Typicall man killer splits. Stocton wheel can make you a new set of wheels using your old centers. !% inch wheels will not work.

It could be any combination if rear ends. You need to read off the rear end numbers or letters off of the warranty plate. Could be a dayton or even an eaton based on GVRW. It however will be the pre 67 six lug pattern. They are also designed for dual wheels and may not be correctly cneters for a single wheel application.

Typically the F350 used a contractor bed. it looks just like a slab side 57 to 60 bed but will be nine feet long. This includes flare side beds also.
If you want to use a 8 footer some wheel base altering is in order.
