Did this truck sell ? Still available ?

Did you ever find this ?

I think I have one of these. PM if interested.

Until Casca2525 submitted a pic I presumed we were talking about motor home with a dually rear and corresponding 1 ton front suspension. Upgrade may be more difficult if OP's vehicle has the dually rear and 3/4 ton front suspension. There would still be aftermarket wheels available with the...

Another clarification regarding member who suggested using 17" dia. wheels. Most factory supplied 17" wheels from Ford and Chevy have the lug pattern of 8 x 170 mm instead of the 8 x 6.5" (165 mm). Unsure if/when Dodge changed their mounting pattern.

Forgot to add that I've never encountered a 16" wheel that interferred with the front disk brake caliper on any Dodge dually originally equipped with 16.5" wheels.

I upgraded my '85 pickup and '90 flatbed to 16". In bigger cities 16.5" tires can be found. However I found that in smaller towns, especially in more rural areas, while traveling about, that 16.5"s are like dinosaurs, nearly extinct. Attached is a pic of Chevy Alcoa 10 hole alloys with enlarged...

Sent pic in PM. Have you found one already ?

I appreciate your need dictates first available. But there is a later model one with a metal frame that is a much better repair. Made the switch in my '76. I'll look for the plastic one I took out but will need a couple days.

I saw one here in Tucson not to long ago, well it had a Dude logo and stripe anyway. I was wondering how a person would recognize one if they saw it after all these years , repaints, etc.

Neither I nor the MVD (motor vehicle dept.) inspector could find one. No reason to believe there isn't one just don't know where it might be.

Trying to find info on/identify year of a Dodge delivery van. Looks like a UPS delivery truck with entry doors that slide rearward to open. Driving area separated from cargo area by a vertical wall. Instrument cluster seems to be out of '61-'70 style pickup. Has dual rear wheels and both axles...

Wish you were closer. Nice, rust free AZ roof available off an '84 std. cab.

I need the adapter plate from Cummins 6BT to an NV4500 manual trans. ('94 - '02 i'm guessing ? ). Shipped to 85625. If you know if my Getrag plate will work please let me know so I can use what I already have.

Any interest at $75 shipped ?
