F-350 wheels to a 1976 F-250 2 WD

Post by workingfire »

I want to change my F250 to F350 wheels front and rear. Can I install the dual wheels on the rear if I install longer studs? Then can I swap the front hubs to a f350 to use the f350 wheels?

My goal is have the dually look on the f250 that I have now.

Thanks for your help.

I did mine with a little work and some new studs. front adapters are from the 2nd gen dodge 4x4 factory. need a small amount of machining to slide over the hub but works. have to counter sink the inside holes to use lug nuts to center it on there.

I used the 72 dually wheels that have the inner and outer dimples to center them. you can use the newer style if you want.
