linda s Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I do believe that all the Toyota rigs with the reversed dually in the front have an adapter on the wheels. otherwise the insode out dually wouldn't track right. The 5 to 6 lug is availabe here http://www.customcommercialwheel.com/ You would have to ask them if they can do the 6 lug to 6 lug adapter. Don't see why not. Just drill the holes differently. They can make you 15 inch wheels too but it is very expensive. If you have a heavy duty truck parts place near you you could check inot some old Isuzu commercial truck wheels. Not sure but they look like the same lug pattern as the Toyota full floaters. Have no idea if they will fit but worth a look Linda S Forget the Isuzu wheels.I finally found the bolt pattern. Too big. 6x8.75. way big there is a company Called Marsh racing online that still makes wheels for the old military units that are 6x7.25 You could go with single wheels in back with the right bolt pattern and regular toyota 16 inch wheels in front. 215/85/16 or 225/85/16 tires and you would have an e or better load rating.

Bunneys Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I found this on on craigslist one day... I emailed the owner, but all he would tell me is that it was sold... He did not answer any of my questions of how he did it. It was listed as a 1987 4X4 dually and looks to have the IFS so I'm guessing the parts can be swapped over some how. I have found this also on craigslist, but it does not say anything about 2wd or 4x4... http://portland.crai...3350908747.html Let us know what you find out, I'd love to have a spare rear axle to play with I'd really be interested in rear disks Andrew.

Those wheels in Portland are the old fake duallies. Inside wheel is a regular no off set wheel and then you put on the adapter and the exreme off set fake dually. Would cause the same damage to a regular truck with a heavy load as it did to the motorhomes. People who are selling them probably upgraded their axle and kept the old wheels. Kids like them to trick out their trucks. Pretty safe if you are not trying to carry full loads of wood or concrete blocks. Buy rear flares and you have a mini dually. Just don't carry much more than your surf board Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
