Bigdogtrucker Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Was thinking of single wheels on the rear of one of my Dodge C series,and sometime of flatbed or pickup style bed...Has 10:00X20 spokes,what are my options?

Vladislav Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Don't know how about spokes (no, as far as I know there must be special spokes to fit the only rim inverted), but I saw this on evil bay esterday. Pricy !!

Vladislav Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sorry for the off-topic, closer to the matter.Those single wheel hubs are about the kind of front ones.They have a rim sitting shoulder near the outside to keep the wheel about the middle, not to put an inner wheel deep.My 1945 army Mack (not the one on the picture) had them original single rears. But during its service in Russia (Soviet Union those days) some one cutted the hubs over with a big lathe to apply double rims. He just "moved" the shoulder deeper to the truck's center to make a room for one more rim and a ring. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37279-single-rear-wheels/#findComment-262341 Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Ive seen regular 22.5s or 20s on lift axles with longer wedges so you can run single tires. that might be a good choice for you.

mrsmackpaul Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Mate these are common as this wide brown land we put them on steer axle to give us more capacity ride grip and they look a lot tougherPaul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37279-single-rear-wheels/#findComment-262373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I've got a set of dayton rims for floater tires,I sold the tires off for farm wagon use as they weren't fit to run on a truck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37279-single-rear-wheels/#findComment-262400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmackpaul Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I got to thinking I know I shouldnt but one thing that occured to me after posting is you might have to machine a groove in the spider like they had on a K5 or K6 inter on there back axle's and you clamp a band around so that you could run singles by putting the clamp then the spacer and just the outside dual hope this makes some sense as other wise the wheel wont sit right and our tight on the hubPaul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37279-single-rear-wheels/#findComment-262430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Another place to start looking is at older New York State snow plows.. Mack RM, FWD, and others ran single 12:00 X 24's on the rear drive with offset rims so they would track with the steers. I do not remember Walter or Oshkosh running spokes?

41chevy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Here is a thread with pictures, Manufacturer name and part numbers for the conversion. I had it bookmarked for a possible conversion on my B mixer.
