Where did you get the wheels and tires? I'LL be watching this build Like I do all of your builds. Glad your over here now also.

I am not sure where the wheels and tires came from i found them in an old box under my work bench.

Got the rims reworked and changed them from a 10 lug to a 8 lug. Got the front wheel openings done and need to do the rear and the rear fender flares yet.

Bruce, great work as always. I'm gonna watch this one closely. I can remember when I was about 5, there was an old farmer that had an older Ford dually much like the one you are building. I remember it because I saw it every spring and fall for about 3 years. It was a two tone dark and light tan and it even had a name that the farmer had as a vanity plate. It said SODBSTR 1. Seeing this brings back those memories.

Very good work!!!! I have a suggestion about the rear fenders you may want to find an AMT 92-96 Flareside and

use the rear fenders as a starting point as the already have the right radiused wheel opening. :rolleyes:

Looks like an interesting project!

Quick note though, you technically could have left the rims as 10 lug since the F-450 and F-550 Chassis Cabs came with 10 lug hubs/wheels, so you could have simply said it was a conversion.
