Yea that's the right one.
I think the centers sit in the wheel at a certain backspace that you can't just change.
Andy has dually hubs on his scout with the hummer wheels. It's pretty wide.

The centers set real well on a small lip in the rim, but you can change this if needed. I understand that it is just a little more work to ensure they run true.
Krebs, Sharpe, yall have pm's. Let me know what ya think.
My front dually hubs give me an effective backspacing of about 4". It's no wider than a fullsize with "normal" wheels, it just looks wide because I have 12" of tire outside my fenders.
Your rear axle WMS--WMS width will be considerably narrower than your fron if you use dually hubs. No big deal, just aesthetics. This bothered me, so I'm using a GM Dually D70 (74" WMS--WMS).
Thanks, I guess I will just have the new center set in on the rim lip and go from there. It should be about right. I will have the guy just tack them inplace anyways, and weld them up after I try them out.Originally Posted by Cajun
I got bored and needed to spend some money, so I called Atlas up about the 4spd again. I talked to a guy, and he said that adapter part # 50-9810 would be needed to convert the 10 spl 465 to 23 spl. The lead time is still pretty long on these, he said I shouldn't expect it till mid to late July if ordered now, so I am gonna put the CC back in the wallet for now.
Now onto the question, is this really going to work, or did the guy just blow smoke up my ***? It almost seems to good to be true, but with all the 465's in use, it would seem stupid to not have an adapter. Maybe I have been tokin on the hooka too much again, but that is for another thread alltogether.
I was able to get the pane tanks ordered, but no luck on the brackets. I will fab these up myself. A new set of tanks from Pro Tank Supply (2 43.5 lbs tanks) delivered for $375. I think I took it in the rectum on this one, but they came highly recomended from a mechanic friend.
I am thinking on holding off on the pane install for a while though. I just need to get the 60 in, the 14bolt regeared and the shackle flip done, then I can wheel it and see where to go next. I am thinking these would be major improvements over what I have now.
I did order some seats from Rock Buggy Supply, they are the daily drivers with the extra 2"s wide option. They are shipping the set with harneses for 770 to the door.
Now I just have to find a york compressor.
I got my pirate supplier to get me a quote on R&P's and detroits. Here is what he sent.
D60
5.13 gears Genuine Gears $179 OR Precision Gears $197
Master Install Kit $117
Detroit Locker $625
14B
5.13 gears Genuine Gear $205 OR Precision Gear $225
Master Install Kit $125
Detroit Locker $449
Are these prices about right, and is the price difference in the Genuine and Precision worth it?
Lemme try and find where I bought my D60's detroit from. I got it for $500. I think the axles you are getting already have 5.13's in em but lemme double check that as well. The price for the gears and install kits look reasonable, I would shop around more for the lockers though.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Shop around is something I can sure enough do. I just got back word that those prices are to my door step.
check w/ randy's ring and pinion they always seem to have good prices and good packages

Ok, I have a few things headed to the house again, and I have updated the cost breakdown again.
There shouldn't be too much left for now other than the choice of lockers and a few minor details. There will be some work involved this time, it will include pulling the doors and installing tube ones for now, a brake job, and other misc. stuff. I look forward to doing some wrenching this time, hopefully the wrenches wont freeze to my fingers this time.
