[Any wheel manufacturers make a 16, or possibly 17 in the large 6 that we have?]

Thanks, Deke. This is an '82. has a few bruises as you can see.

BTW, post some pictures of your 'mystery' camper. Maybe we can ID it for you.

My apologies, I was mistaken that it was a 6 - bolt hub. It is instead the 8-lug, 14-bolt housing, which most likely makes it a Chevy?

Also upon closer inspection, it says 'Okanagan' on the side. There is not left of the original interior, nor is there much frame I expect to find upon closer inspection. It may turn out to be simply an axle and other parts, despite it's good running condition.

I think the only way we could help with your quest is to have more info:-

I'll endeavour to document the setup and share in the coming days.

will make them

It's good to know that wheel's are being built in the event that they are needed. I'll be interested to learn if this setup including rims are simply ford, chevy, or dodge apparatus.

Thanks in advance. Vern

I have a build thread in the archives. Look for "foolie to 1 ton gm ff".

I am interested to see this thread, but I can't seem to find any archive content. Can you please point me there? Tks

does anyone know of a 16" or 17 wheel that is in the large 6 pattern ? any custom companys that arent way outragous?

I've acquired a gutted and butchered 17 or 18' camper on a 1982 that has a mystery full floating axle and uses 16" dually rims, and if I recall correctly, it is a 6 bolt. I have no assurances it is a manufacturer retrofit axle. It has lower profile tires on the duallies, and with the seemingly huge axle, the differential housing has just inches of ground clearance. Clearly the set-up is not quite at home on the mini motorhome. I know this post is quite old. I thought I would chime in here to try to generate some interest as I undertake to identify the mystery axle. The best clue I have so far is that there were some dana's for Chev's that had a 6-bolt patterns.
