wheels interchangeable?
Anyone know if the wheels off of a 2001 f250 will fit an 86 f250?
|
Sorry, they definitely will not fit. Ford changed their 8 lug bolt circles to metric in 1999 so here is the bolt circle guideline for
Ford F-250/350 single rear wheel: 1997-Back = 8-6.5" bolt circle 1999-up = 8-170MM bolt circle. Ford F-350 Duallys as follows: 1997-Back = 8-6.5" bolt circle 1999-2004 = 8-170MM bolt circle 2005-up = 8-200MM bolt circle Heather |
Thanks for the info Heather.

ford did not market a F250 or F350 truck in 98. you either got one tagged as a 97, or a 99
|
Wow, learn something new everyday...
|
they only made gas F250s in 1998 (i think marked up to '99 light duty or something). but they use the same body as the new er F150 it looks kinda weird. My Dads co. has 2 of them.

Okay I have one for the gurus here and this looks like the perfect thread for it. What would be needed to convert a single rear wheel to a dually. It seems to me all I would have to do is get a set of hubs off a dually and install them on my current sterling. I can get a set of dually hubs and rims for next to nothing from a yard I deal with. Any insight would be appreciated.

i'm thinking unless you've got a 250 that's got more clearance than mine at the springs, it just ain't gonna work without a heap of mods. thought the same thing on my '90 and took duelly rim and turned it backwards on the rear. unless it had some skinny rubber on it, there wasn't enough room for suspension movement. plus, the skinny rubber kinda defeats the purpose of a dual rear setup, don't it?

That's what was done to the second truck listed in my signature - rear axle and bed swapped in from an F350. Everything fits perfect with pretty much no modifications.... |
Well I already have the F-350 to begin with. It's a 1987 F-350 with a sterling rear axle. Did the duallies use a wider axle to start with? I can't seal a company making two different axles housings one for a single rear wheel app and one for a dually app.

I have two Suburbans with one ton axles rom the factory. I have run all ove the east coast with the 93 pulling one trailer or another to the point no one recognizes the truck unless it has a trailer which is bad because it's bright yellow. The other is a 92 which is becoming the traveling truck as it has 3.73 gears in it instead of 4.10s like the 93.

they are also a 7 lug bolt pattern they sold like crap.a freind of mine worked in fords marketing devision at that time. |
There were three Sterling axles installed in Ford trucks from the IDI era to match the three different truck configurations.
1. Single rear wheel truck that left the factory with a bed installed, frame humps over the rear axle, 37.5" frame. 2.Dual rear wheel cab and chassis F350, 34" frame rails, straight frame over the rear axle. Same axle as the SRW truck, spring perches are 4" closer together thant they are on the SRW axle. 3. Dually F350, 37.5" frame rails, frame hump over rear axle, axle housing 4" longer back plate to back plate than a SRW axle. If the truck left the factory with a bed installed it has a 37.5" frame, you can only run duals on the dually axle housing under that truck. The SRW truck and the cab and chassis truck use the same length axle. The cab and chassis can run duals on the axle because the frame is 3.5" narrower. You can't use a cab and chassis axle under a factory installed bed truck unless you move the spring perches. Then it would be exactly like the axle you have under the SRW truck. Hope this all makes sense, I had a long day today and it sounded good to me, I think. |
we got one and we ran spacers to get awy from frame rail
|
With the weight I haul, spacers are not an option.
Wheel bearing failure would be the next thing on my list. |
