Greetings All,
I know I am going to ask the most stupid appearing questions, so let me say I'm sorry in advance.
My project is a '81 C20 regular cab that was duallified with a '85 front end, front and rear suspension at somepoint by a previous owner.
I am going to bag the beast, convert it to a shortbed and more.
Now for the stupid question I promised. In going to other wheel sizes like 20"s or 22"s, what do you do about the inside pair of wheels?
I will get pic's of what the before beast looks like soon hopefully. I've got a lot planned for it!

Thanks, I know I'll gain a lot of help here. And I forgot to mention the area I'm at in my intro post. I'm in the north Texas area where Duallies are as common as lying politicians are in Washington.

Thanks, there's a lot here. I've been a lurker for a little while and finally thought I should say something.
I bought my first dually in '93 or '94. A black '88 crew cab. Talk about a money hole. It was fun to spin donuts in though and when the roads were a bit moist, it made one hell of a good drifter. I still remember when i drove a cab full of friends from work in it and spun a 360 going around a curve in it. I thought a couple of them were going to soil themselves!

Well, the C notches for a C10 came today from McGaughly. I was told the notches for a 1/2 ton would work. With a welder, I'm sure they will.

Well, the bed and exhaust is off and the dual saddle tanks are out. Now to cut the beast in two and make it a shortbed length. It may not be much but at least its a start.
