I searched and found alot of info except the width of a duallie Dana 60 front, that's what I'm looking for, but while we're at it let's just throw them all out there so we have them all in one easy to find spot. Help fill in the blanks. WMS to WMS

GM Dana 60 front (single wheel) ...................69"

GM Dana 60 front (dual rear wheel) ..............77" ; +4" on each side vs single wheel

GM 14 Bolt rear FF (single wheel) ....................67"

GM 14 Bolt rear FF (dual wheel)........................63"

GM 14 Bolt rear SemiF (single wheel) ..............66"

GM Dana 44 Front (single wheel) ..............69"8-lug; 67" 6-lug

GM 10 bolt front (single wheel) ..............69" 8"lug; 67" 6-lug

GM 14 Bolt rear (Van single wheel) ...............70"

Thanks in advance for the help. I've got a good line one an 81 GM Mason Dump, I'm thinking of putting an S-10 body on it and trying to keep the overall width as small as possible with big 39" tires. What I'm thinking is running the 7" backspaced hummer rims up front to bring the wheel back in, compensating for the dually spacer. and then I'll run a 15" rim with minimal backspacing in the rear to match the width of the front. Later.

The 44 and 10 bolt fronts I've measured are 69" as well.

Also, the 14 bolt dually (commonly known as a cab and chassis) is 63" actually, not 62".

Van 14 bolts are 70".

Thanks for the info, that duallie D-60 front seems a pain to find a measurement on. I know some of the guys on here have converted a duallie 60 front to a single wheel. How much shorter did it make it?

My memory may not be correct but I remember hearing that a Dually front was 4" wider WMS to WMS. So 73" is my guess.

Just to make things interesting those 69" measurements for the Dana 44 and 10 bolt fronts are the eight lug versions. If you have a six lug version they are both 67".

The SF 14 bolt was 66" if I remember correctly.

And I believe that all of these axles can vary a little because my Dually 14 bolt measures 62.25 not 63" (I know it's not much difference but it seems that no one can nail down a solid number)

4" yes, but that's per side so more like roughly 77" wms to wms.

Thanks for the help all, those are the #s I was looking for.
Now to see if this S-10 body on the dump truck frame is going to be feasible.
