my question is since this is a srw front axle can i use the hub/rotor combo and just bolt my dually extensions on over the hub, or am i going to have to find something different?
chris

Chris what you have will work. The dually extensions will work with that axle.

Goldie has the same setup.
Just takes a little time to get them on there cause ya gotta use a boxed end wrench to tighten up the lug nuts.
Lookin good dude!

Chris,

You ask a question I've often wondered about. If you don't mind I'd like to just expound on your question...

What are the differences in solid front axles between the SRW/DRW/Chassis Cab? I know Scott has mentioned that there is a different dish in the rims, but does anyone know the exact differences in rims and axles?

Chris if you don't want this here I'll start a new thread.

BTW, You've got a great start on what sounds like a very nice build. Good luck with your project!

Thanks,

Paul

lug nuts? the extensions on mine are tapped and a bolt passes through the rotor and hub. shabby pics, but here they are 1st is of the outer flange to the wheel. 2nd is of the hub/ extension. will it still work?

It should. If yer able to get a pic with the wheel off I could prolly tell better.
Yeah the rotors are sandwiched in between the rotors and the hub assembly. A total PITA to change out a rotor.

AA-4 http://www.arrowcraft.com/arrowcraft.php?pageid=products&subpid=catalog&category=3&pagenumber=1
or these
ACAA-4DD http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/p-1919-acaa-4dd.aspx

Chris, my tellie number is in the BOOB directory, give me a shout tomorrow if ya need to.

Goldie is sporting the AA-4's on the front and the Magnums for the rear.

 

[diesel4me2]

thanks man
chris

 

[diesel4me2]

so i pulled a wheel off and it looks like i'm going to have to buy the spacers, unless i'm looking at it wrong and it will slip over the hub. anybody know?
heres the pics.
chris

 

[Dsl_Dog_Treat]

Chris, what holds the spacer to the rotor?

Give me a shout.

 

[diesel4me2]

so i received an email from tsm. with mock up pics of my rear disc conversion. the washers are just in place for a measurment so they can have a shim made. let me know what you think

update

so i finally made a little progress today. i've been doing little things like a new dome light, came out of a 96 ford taurus. door lights from a 94 linclon. removed the bed today with a little help from my engine lift, started wire wheeling the frame an painting it. i also...nevermind heres the pics

 

[icanfixall]

Diesel... Now is the best time to check out the condition of the fuel pickup screens in both the tanks. I can reach the front tank from under the truck but the rear tank is not easy. That needs to be dropped or the bed taken off.
