- feel free to ask me anything...
I HAVE PARTS 1 and 2 if you are trying to do this project on my channel
TUCK JOB IS VISIBLE AT 4:30 with about 2.5" - 3" inside the rear fender
tires are 265/40/r22
truck is: 1980 Chevrolet C30 cab & chassis one ton dually
rear axle: GM 14 BOLT cab & chassis (63.5" WMS to WMS)
wheels are ALL 8.25" x 22.5" USED semi wheels MILLED down to 22"
adapters came from duallywheels4u and space wheels 13/16"
Nice to see someone taking a more DIY approach versus the kit. I bought my alcoas from a local truck yard for $125/ea and my super singles off the Craig for $350 with tires. These adapters for sure need paint. PS, try using some finer sand. that sand is going to do ALOT of damage which will create alot more work to sand out before you even get it to the point of being Polished. Baking soda is real good for cleaning aluminum without hurting it. check it out
Need more videos about the truck. I just found an 81 cab and chassis. I had a lot of questions and these videos answered a lot of them. I was able to get 24.5’s new from my work for almost free. They were overstock then never sold and were going to get scrapped. Lol. But your videos just confirm I have to do this project it will be amazing.
Great looking build! Want my Dually like that!
This truck is gonna look sick!!
Fine to medium 'scotchbright' pad on a cordless drill should help out tons. "IF" you can run/turn the axle in Idle, and then run the drill in opposite direction makes it a bit easier, but more dangerous from the lugs spinning .
Turned out great, you answered a lot of questions I had, and made it look easy! I'm still trying to decide if I want to go with 19.5 or the 22s like you did
Am bout to do the same on my 1994 Chevy daully
So my first step on the adapters when I order them get them for a 1994 Chevy daully right
Sometimes there just isn’t enough light in a work day, then your doing it in the dark.
i picked the wheels up a 1:00 pm... i was supposed to get them at 8:00 am but they werent ready.. it is a lot of work to mount those tires..
Hey Chris! Your wheels look awesome!! I hope you’re doing well man
Looks great!
What was your overall width in the rear from out side to outside? Im thinking about doing this on a old box truck.
Great information on the the conversion my only question is how do you find the guy to machine the wheels? Can any machine shop do it?
any machine shop can do it but you need to find someone that advertises the service for 22.5” … because they know exactly what to mill and when to stop
Super informative videos your c30 going to be crazy; I'm looking to do the same to my 84 GMC Sierra C25 dually, I wonder how different the specs are. Its been super hard to find any info on my truck.
my rear axle is 63.5” wide yours is 72” .. part 1 I go over the wheels you need.. the rest is the same
@@chriscraft77022 appreciate the info I'll definitely go back & watch the video
Info on where you bought the adapters? Thanks
Hey chris thanks fam. ..I want to put 24.5 on my chevy c30 dually
what year? do you have videos?
@@chriscraft77022 1979 c30
I would like to see that
So your rear tuck because the rearend is shorter then a regular c30?
💯💯
Do you worry at all with the galvanic corrosion from having aluminum wheels sandwiched between steel adapters and lugs?
in my life I’ve never seen it bad enough to worry about... hopefully the primer will prevent it a little.. maybe the climate you are in can make it worse.. I’m in Houston, TX
Where can I get the adapters from for a 2002 f350 dually
bro.. great video... i bought 22.5 accurides to start this project . I dont want them sticking out so far , i measured the width from edge to edge and they are approx 9.5 inches.. you mentioned 8.25 width on yours... are there different size widths on these? or is the width measured from inside the lip ? i know sounds like dumb question, i just need to be sure before i get rid of them and buy more narrow wheels.... thanks for great video!!!
you measure inside.. what are you putting them on?
@@chriscraft77022 ok awesome. . They going on 2006 dodge megacab dually 4x4
I would switch the lug covers to the threaded kind if you can way better snaps on fall off on shitty bumps
It looks really good the sandblasted, what kind is that one?
What is the difference between front and rear wheels, backspace? Is there a difference as in front steer wheels only or rears only? Or are they interchangeable?
they are all the same ... in part 1 I talk about the 3 different wheels
Brother, Rims are Sweeeeet! Are the Tires 10 ply and are going to do disc brakes conversion later? Best Regards!
Be careful.... I had to bevel the adapter plates for the factory lug nuts to center up. (Not big rig 32mm lugs) I added balance bags and it was a smooth as silk riding down the road
yeah, they put the bean bags in there.. everything worked 100% i spun the wheels before i bolted everything down... what truck did you do? you have videos?
@@chriscraft77022 nah...I had 22 forces on a 2000 chivy crew cab...but, you can shave down the 22.5 and it won't put a big strain on the beads of 22" tires. That narrow rearend turned out pretty good
@@ronniebenoit7699 oh yeah, the truck is gonna be a bad ass..
@@chriscraft77022 there's also a lugnut with a shank that will center up the truck rims...its suggested at least 3 per rim.... I never used them but the feedback is good. The smoother the ride the better when getting up on highway speeds. Especially when adding all that extra stuff.
thanks , I forgot about those centering lug nuts.. I just ordered some.. they are expensive 😳😳😳😳😳
How you mount the tires
I have a ? 265 40 R22 tires fit on a 22.5 rims? Let me know thanks and nice videos.
I am doing a 85 what part of the rim that need to be cut
He probably covered this already... But my truck is a 5 ton dump " C30 " Point is, I haul A - LOT of weight, I'm guessing those tires cant handle it. Again, could be wrong... I like the idea, but I'm also practical and use my truck as a truck. So would have to find out for sure.
I looked into doing this out here in Phx, AZ. You are right, the tires dont have huge capacity and are simply to get it rolling. Amazingly they are exactly the same diameter as the stock 16's.
@@jeffreymiers8793 I found out a lot of guys have an issue with throwing the inside dual all the time. I decided when I do switch to just go with the modern 17" set up.
@@gittyupalice96 .....me too. On my 91 I'm converting to 08-10 17" factory wheels. The 17s are cheaper than 16's after being used for so many years now. Took me awhile to find them but now Im ready.
@@jeffreymiers8793 I have a 1989 C30.. I guess they call that a R3500? the square body built after they stopped making them model. wondering if we have the same offset. If thats the case I can get 2010 GMC 17" rims through work dirt cheap.
@@gittyupalice96 Yes. They are still 8x6.5 thru '10....just 17". I havent checked offset. The hub bore is slightly larger by .04 I believe. I dont do heavy hauling so it doesnt bother me but letting you know. I havent gotten mine mounted yet....have to paint them.
What kindof sandblasted do you have?
I need my 22.5s milled to 22s is that something you would do for someone or does anyone know where I can send mine
Awesome videos on your channel I follow you. Where can I get those adapters? I have a 2017 ram dually looking to get newer wheels. thanks!
dually wheels 4 u.. it’s in Florida call them
How’s she working out?
What torque do you tighten the ten lug pattern too?
Hey brotha that truck looks awesome with those wheels, I have a question are all these big rig rims the same? Or is there front and rears?
all the same 22.5” x 8.25”.. I have part 1 and 2 going over the whole thing
@@chriscraft77022 Ok I’m assuming the 24.5’s are also all the same? I’m building a Chevy COE and going with 24.5’s milled down to 24”
@@JP-xg8cd yeah, these were milled to 22" i honestly dont know anything about the 24.5's my truck is a cab & chassis with a 63.5" rear axle so that is how the rear wheels fit tucked like thy were.. do you have videos? the shop that did my wheels has one of those COE 24" semi project.. they are pretty cool
Hello, like your videos! Great info. Can you please tell me how wide you are outside of the tires to outside tires? Thank`s
around 90” I think, but I will measure exactly later ... I know fender to fender is 96” and they tuck about 3” on both sides.. I’ll do an update with measurements video
Your Mexican neighbors are vibing out lol , I have a question where did you have your wheels milled down?
extreme off of Jensen dr in Houston, TX by downtown
Did you get the 22s milled diwnt
What size tires are you running?
Hey is it safe? Or is it like spacers that they break.?
Chris, where did you order your replacement rear flare fenders from? Did you reuse the previous fenders or order new ones? Where can you locate new ones?
they are original.. I don’t know where to get new ones
Bro, do you have a before and after pics or video of the setup? I have a panel van dually and it already sticks out in back. i want to know if doing this will keep it inside the body for when i do the air suspension. I appreciate all your information you have given. Thank you in advanced.
my truck has the C&C 14 bolt rear axle
@chriscraft77022 mine as well. 14 bolt. My concern is that if i use an adapter for these wheels is that it wont tuck. The original wheels its got on now pokes out a little. If i lower it with these wheels, it will hit the body.
@chriscraft77022 im new to the dually scene. As far as customizing them.
C&C 14 bolt is what you have? … what is C&C ?
@chriscraft77022 14 bolt panel van, does not have over fenders but does stick out a little. Little flares. Not c&c
Where did you get the wheels I like that style better than others with the big holes
freightliner used wheel place
I live in the Houston area. Who did you have to mill your rims down? I'd like to use someone local. Thanks in advance. I'd love to do a cruise or if you want to swing by my BBQ place that'd be cool.
extreme Texas wheel off Jensen dr
where is your place?
What do you mean cutting the rim? why do they need to be machined?
for low profile tires..
@@chriscraft77022 10 4
Tyre 22 in 22.5 rims?
Do you have to machine the rims to instal the tires or you can instal the tires even whit the .5 diference?
machine to 22”
How much u got them adapters? I hv a 88 gmc dually need adapters
Hey ! We can do those for you
We make them as thin as 1”inch and start for $300 a set
on dually are the back wheels the same as the front just the fronts are flipped?
all the same
What sand blaster are you using
$40 one from northern tool
Where can I get the specs on them adapters so i can make them? 😎
duallywheels4u
You said in part 3 you'd show the wheels milled........
I took them to a place.. I was going to show it but it didn’t go smooth.. they messed me around… I was mad and I didn’t get the footage… they had some drug attic cut them… not the guy who sold me on the job… that’s why I didn’t give the shop a shout out.. they did it on an old lathe… probably 100 years old
@@chriscraft77022 mines 60 yrs old and as long as a semi trailer lol its gotta be to turn a 2ft piece....
Did you have the wheels milled down or are u just using a 22” tire ?
milled
Viva la raza 😂🎷
What key words did you use to search for a the rear end. Or did you find it locally.
it’s a GM cab & chassis 14 bolt free floating axle 63.5” dually rear end 4.56” hubs .. it was factory on my truck
@@chriscraft77022 ok your truck was a cab and chassis and you put a duelly bed on . I have a 74 c30 I'm looking into doing the same wheel set up as you. I saw you had the wheels milled for 22's is that all that was milled
those rear ends are everywhere and go for $500 ... yes.. 6 wheels milled to 22” that is all the machine work
Did you get those 22.5 milled if so where if you dont mind me askin
yes extreme Texas wheels and adapters on Jensen
Where did you buy the spacers
dually wheels 4 u out of Florida
Hey Chris I'm building a 46 Kenworth on a Dodge 2500 frame and in the air about buying American force wheels and adapters or just getting adapters and 22.5 rims for free from work. How do you find someone to cut them down to a 22" rim? Thanks
in Houston there are only 3 that do it so if you live in a small town you may not have anyone.. you have to look for a few weeks
@@chriscraft77022 in socal im sure i can find something thanks again
places that sell American force wheels will know
@@lennylopez6285 i just got mine milled in Irwindale
@@lowbudgetballer Yes much appreciated I also went there found them on a whim Not bad For finding The source lol
Whats the tire sz plzz
It’s in the video when I show the wheels I forgot
What do u think u saved on this set instead of buying a new one
about $1000... it was totally worth it..
@@chriscraft77022 i have some wheels i wanna buy and some adapters wheels are 1500 and the adapters are 600 tired are still in alright shape for now I just need to test fit them before i buy everything
I thought I'd be slick & build a C-50 to avoid adapters, but it has a different size hub-centric pattern than all these old used Alcoas. Is anybody drilling custom patterns in them ? Adapters wont work & I can't find much specifically designed for the truck except the original steel wheels. I don't even think those are safe to drive on.
do you have videos on it? what year
@@chriscraft77022 I really do need to get some videos. It's penned in right now, cant really see it well. I'll try to get something in the daytime though.
It's a '79. I tried that website in your other vid & a couple other places. Not much luck. I'm thinking I may need to swap the axles from a topkick or something. It's proving to be THAT big of a challenge. The only C50s I've seen with custom wheels look to have had disk brake axles put on them.
@@chriscraft77022 Hmm, never mind. You probably didn't find anything anyway. Thanks for looking if you did though...I solved the problem via another route. The truck will just get upgraded to power disk brake axles. EZ sneezy ! Lighter, more responsive springs too. The newer parts truck I found comes with all kinds of extra goodies too.
@@blisterskustoms9060 what was the donor truck you found? I have a 68 C40 same situation. Thank for any help.
@@jeffp7776 It's a '91 Kodiak. The big 10 lug truck, not the 8 lug one. They can still be pricey, but if you try to buy those axles at a yard, it'll cost more than a parts truck easy
WHAT SIZE IS TIRE 22.5
I’m running cheap 22” tires for now as I build the truck.. wheels milled to 22”
So does it have to be tubbed ? Of so, how many inches minimum ?
no, only if you use a cab & chassis 14 bolt you HAVE to mini tub!!!!! (63.5”)
@@chriscraft77022 ok, good to know. I found dually king industries, he has a " tuck" wheel. I'm trying to get a price but for a standard drw axle it fits beautiful. I subscribed so I'll be following this build.
@@here_to_watch2115 what is your truck?
@@chriscraft77022 i have a k10 currently but I'm looking into a c30 crew or rc. I need a tow rig. Got a couple I'm interested in so I'm trying to get an idea about the wheels etc.
@@here_to_watch2115 mine is a 1980 C30 cab and chassis "box delete" the C&C came with the narrowed GM 14 bolt.. a normal 73-91 GM dana 70 dually rear end is 72" just let me know what you have.. when you get it.. those other channels wont answer any questions.. thats why i made my own videos..
