Was wondering if anyone knows a supplier for Ranger dual wheels or adapters for same. Want to build a dual wheel flatbed from an 80's truck. Or does anyone have some they are not using? Thanks VIC

 

Well, I can say that what you will have to do is swap out axles with an older truck - then adapt the driveshaft to the axle, We dont have actual adapters to easily swap out to a duallie's setup!

 

I seem to remember Jc Whitney having adapters though, years ago. Add extra wheels, long bolts and some sort of spacer. I have seen small trucks with duals, You think they changed axles? Or was there ever a manufactures option?

 

JC Whitney used to sell a dually kit for 80s Rangers. No longer though. Check out lmctruck.com

^ i think the adapters he used were one-offs custom made.

found this gem at the link above:

 

I have no idea what he used. I'm just boosting morale so he does it haha

 

He used his stock styleside bed and cut the bedsides off a flareside and welded them on and blended and painted. his build thread on whatever forum (can't remember) was AWESOME. it's his girlfriends F-350 lol.

 

lol i know what he did with the bed idk with the wheels aside some sort of adapter since he still has the 8.8. and its his WIFES fullsize haha

 

oh i haven't checked in awhile. didn't know they were married.

 

I think that looks awesome.

 

 

Awesome build I’m looking to do the same to my 1999 but can’t find the conversion kit or don’t know any truck that would be a parts donor any help would be very much appreciated thanks shawn
