[AT] OT: dually conversions for tractor hauler

[Richard Fink Sr]

Jim when you start looking for another rear to put under it with duals. You 
will find about 4 different widths on the fords same year. The easy way to 
do it is get two plates for spacers i think it is 2 inches thick and bolt 
pattern drilled in them. Then bolts 2 inches longer check around i found 
some grade 8 fine thread that worked just need to stake or knurl the part 
next to the head. then you need to find 4 budd or firestone rims. I would 
run it as is unless you need to haul a lot of extra weight.
