C20 or C30 "single wheel" lowered pics/information?

[Devillusion]

Considering just swapping my dually over to single wheel but keep it 8 lug as I have a 2wd burban for parts that is a 3/4 ton, this way I could keep her as a driver and a tow pig. Going to still do the shortbox thing, but maybe go with a shorter rear end and maybe a 20x10 or 12 out back with a 20x8 or 9 up front...maybe even an 18x8 up front to have a bit of rake. Has to be a driver so.....

Am looking for examples, pictures of single wheelers please. Any any part information/lowering measurements with examples.

This thing will be also getting the cummins treatment up front as well so I don't know if I can get away with doing the half ton springs up front.

Think I could just swap out the spindle from the burban onto the dually? but I guess I would lose my big calipers though wouldn't I? Or could I order drop spindles for a one ton single and still keep my calipers?



.....anyways, any help is appreciated. I'm not a "lowered" guy by blood...hahahaha, so this is a little bit of a new thing to me and don't want to hack anything. Not the way I do things.

your dually spindle and a single wheeled spindle are the same just roters are different and they use the same caliper. the only difference between the 1t and 3/4t is the way the caliper mounts

So all I need to do is go out and buy a set of rotors, bearings, seals for a 1 ton single wheel setup for same year and I'm golden?

wow...that was easy! Nice Thanks!


Now....hahaha. I know there are 3 different widths of dually rear 14s or 70's witchever rear differentials. I have the wide one, I have the medium one (front tire lines up with center of duals), now where or what do I find the narrower one from? My thoughts are to run the narrowest rear differential and run a wider rear set (hopefully a 12" wide 20.....) Any thoughts on this?

...ps, would still like to see some pictures of some slammed single axle tons if anyone has access. Searched but must not be putting in the right info.

use the rear end out of that sub or look on pirate 4x4 theres a right up on how to nerrow up these rear ends by swapping brake drums and backing plates and what axels to use

but my dually has the 63" rear, so wouldn't that be as narrow as it's gonna get anyway without cutting?

Was thinking of trimming off the long side and installing another short side axle this would get rid of what? another 8" right? I'll have to actually go measure that at some point I guess. Can't remember the actual difference in measurements. And I guess widen out the inner tubs as well.
