My 69 Post Office W300 started out with single anemic (Gordon's most adequate description) wheels and tires. Truck has a factory stake body and the it looked like hell with those tires on it. It looked like it was going to roll over any minute and felt like it was about to going down the road! The tires and wheels were way back under the truck. It looked like it was just off the railroad. I put D300 tires and wheels on the it. The dual tires did not stick out beyond the bed and looked fine. I had to buy front hubs and drums to get the dual type wheel to fit on the front. The wheel would hit the drum before the lug bolts would go into the wheel holes. You may have a problem on the front if they have the dual type hubs and drums installed. Dave Butler sold me the last 8 lug hubs and drums that were ever made I believe. I have yet to find any more for sale. You may have a finished product like mine started out when you make the transition. Check out both the front and rear to avoid any surprises.
