Ya, Ya, "search newbie". Now that thats covered..........
whats the 'big' differences between the SRW and DRW axles. Width is a non-issue. If swapping to disks, is one much better than the other (hub wise)?? I believe the housings are the same, right?? And when was the swap to drum over hub (would it matter)??
Hopin for some 'quick' insight. No time to search, headin out. Hopin to get back, read the board, score this gem if all is well:D :D

I didn't search, or even claim to, can you read:shaking: ?
and are just finding it tasking to even consider it

OK I was feeling generous...LOL


That was why I gave you the post topics to get your sorry ass the answers. and you could read for weeks on the various tib bits of information on the dully versus non dually hubs and find out all you need to know. about brakes and disks.... 10 minutes tops..


type

"14 bolt, brakes, dually, width" In the FAWKING SEARCH BOX

After doing a lot of research via the search function and comparing with my own tape measure I've found some inconsistencies in the info found here. Everybody claims that the only difference between a dually and single axle is the hubs. Not true! The single wheel and cab and chassis axle share the same housing with different hubs. That part is true. There is a difference in the brakes and the position of the mounting flange that the backing plates bolt to. The cab and chassis axle has bigger brakes and the mounting flange is further away from the mounting surface for the wheels. This is taking into account the different positions of the wheel mounting surface relative to the end of the spindle.

The dually pickups have a wider housing and use the same hubs as the cab and chassis. WMS to WMS on a K30 dually pickup is 72 1/2". The actual housing is wider from spindle end to spindle end on a dually pickup than the SRW/C&C housing. I know that I'm going to hear somebody say BS, but I spent about two hours with a tape measure and the three differrent varieties of 14 bolts last week. Bottom line is that cab and chassis 14 bolts and dually pickup 14 bolts are not the same and both shouldn't be lumped together when talking about dually 14 bolts.

RogueBronco you're apparently back from wherever it was you headed out to. Take the time and hit the search button as there's a ton of info on these axles and disc brake conversions. it will be worth your time.

Thanx cmegoup
I've bin searchin all over but cannt find any consistant #'s. So it make sence as to what your stating. It's mainly the hubs I'm wondering about. So far this is what I've got (from chat of all places).
Dually hubs put the WMS 2.5" closer to the center of the axle(per side), which inturn should put the axle flange 2.5" further out from the rim(WMS), because the axles are the same length regardless of the hubs.
True/False
This created question #2
Just how far does the axle flange stick out past the WMS on a Dually?? 2.5" more than a SRW?
Thats gotta be about 6"?

WMS to WMS on a K30 dually pickup is 72 1/2"
Is this correct?? Puts it about 10" wider than what I've bin gettin. (typo?)

cmegoup, it seems to me that if what you said is true then there would a difference in the actual axleshaft lengths on the "k30 dually" axle and a C+C/SRW axle. I have always wondered about this, seeing a dually with the C+C type hubs but not the narrow version.

i have done quite a bit of searching through j/yards while looking for cab and chassis duallys and what i have found is different that what cmegoup has said. yes the dually brakes and the single wheel brakes are different the wheel hubs and width of every standard dually rear that i have ever seen (quite a few) were all the same as the single rear wheel version with the exception being the brakes. only the narrow cab and chassis version used the in-set hub to narrow the wms-wms to 63". i am not calling cmegroup a liars as maybe he has found a different style rear but like i said i looked at many 14bolts while looking for the two c&c dually rears that i have now and this is what i have found.
