The inside spacer is just that (a spacer). The one used for the outer wheels in an adapter. Spacers are just inserts of varying thickness. Adapters are secured to the original stud threads & utilize a different set of studs to secure the wheel.

It's an adapter if it adapts a different bolt pattern. Spacer if it spaces the wheels apart.

I'm gonna be running 315-75-16 tires so I'll be needing a 2 inch for the inside and then prolly 2 inch for in between the tires..so I wonder which ones I would actually need..

(33 x 10). 1/2 inch spacers on the inside needed for the tire to clear the springpack on a narrow cab / chassis rear and 1.5 inch spacers between the dualls. With this setup there was no need to cut the factory wheel studs. I picked up the hub centric - aluminum spacers on ebay. Fit perfect and seem pretty stout. The truck has no lift and the 33" inch tires fit well. Thanks and good luck.

Damn that is a nice looking truck.

Dont you love the way it handles/maneuvers like a sports car compared to a compared to a full wide strech or crew truck?

Check out my POS in the projects/builds.

It's an adapter if it has studs w/threads; even if it's the same bolt pattern.

I'm starting to rethink myself about bagging mine after seeing how they sit with the 24's with low profile tires. looks like a lot less suspension work too...

Here's a couple pics of a 79 1 ton dually I recently shortened to a short bed length. Was going to put it under my 68 Dually but after reading all the trouble with the swap I went ahead and just shortend my original frame 60 inches. Yep 60.
So now, what to do with this one? I do also have 4 squares sitting at my mountain property so I might just wait on this one for a future project.
Anyhow, saw this thread asking for pictures of 73-97 1 ton dually and thought you guys might want to see pics of what one looks like undressed?

[boonedogs72]

Just about done with my 4wd conversion. Have to mount the front shocks and brackets and finish the crossmember for the engine.

something doesnt add up, either those arent 33 inch tires, or that isnt a 6 inch lift, it is however a very nice truck!!
