Dually on it's way

Here is my dually on it's way to get bagged at Hoss Custom and Collisions in Bearden, Arkansas.

damn looking good can't wait to see the build up pics

Should have covered it... Can't really have people seeing a ford pulling a Chevy.

I am not worried about the ford pulling my chevy. You got to use what you have at hand at the time.

Are those Frito 19.5"s? I really want to get my hands on a set for my dodge got any leads?

Hehe, Frito 19.5's, first time I've heard them called that but it instantly made sense. I have a set on my '98 as well, though the dish of the wheel looks more like a regular 16" - ya know, less "rounded" on the profile, more like the shitbox dually 16" wheel and how it sorta looks like a clay plant pot. Jeez does that even make sense?

We've been translating low's posts for years. You 2 make perfect sense.

I know what you mean, where'd you get yours?

I was wondering the same thing about those wheels.

They look cool.

Anybody know what's the lowest profile 19.5 tire available?

Pretty sure mine came off a heavy duty step van, I'm pretty sure the difference in styles is just a year/era difference. Mine might be up for sale after a while because I'm re-building my yard wrecker on a 3500HD platform which of course has 10 lug 19.5's, so I won't need the 8 luggers anymore. You can get 'em from Ricksons Truck too, but they're like $300/ea for steel $500/ea for aluminum.

Campy, I think the shortest 19.5 you can get is a 225/70/19.5, which isn't really all that short - about 31.5". I've got 245/70/19.5 on the truck right now, which are around 32.25"

EDIT I went and looked at a thread where y'all were recommending some 16" sizes to help clear, the 225/75/16 is 29"+ so really I guess a 225/70/19.5 at 31.5" isn't a HUGE difference, but obviously would matter if you're getting ready to smack the A/C on your square, or having a hard time laying out. But you gotta admit they're some damn tough looking wheels.



They look great without trim rings and caps too, like ybnrmal's pic, in fact I would skip the 19.5 trim rings that Ricksons sells, that's what are on my truck and I took them off because just a trip down the street and they're trying to let go. Chinese shit
