oh yes, the backbreaking Jeep-a-Trench, Jeeps came with all sorts of farm attachments. Most of those attachments would bend the middle of the frame up in the middle. Poor little jeeps never stood a chance.

I like this...

Theres an old, ex pg&e flatty with one of those dually 60's in it from years ago around here. It hasn't moved in years. I guess it got early retirement.

so, that dually 60, is narrowed from the factory to flatty width:idea:

here is one I saw getting repaired at a shop in Boston. Never met the owner, but the mechanic told me that the phone company used them before they got Bobcats to install underground lines.

I would doubt "from the factory" I think they outfitted them aftere the fact, but I wasn't around then so I don't know. But, yes, narrowed, offset, 35 spline 60. The few I have seen out were 35 anyway!

There's a guy down here in Houston that has a fetish for J series trucks. He own's a repair shop up the road. He has one w/o the blade or bucket. But it's got the dual 60 in the back. i always thought it was a retro.
