The front axle is a 1970 Dana 70 with the 5/8 ring gear offset so I could run an ARB. The rear is a Dana 80 with ARB. But the wheels and hubs are 6 on 7 1/4 (W300). The center hole of the wheel of the 5 hole budd is too small for the larger W300 hub to convert. If the hole was enlarged to fit there wouldn't be any meat left between the center hole and the stud holes. The W300 use heavier bearings plus I have upgraded axles. This truck will be set up as a dually and can also run wide singles.
