94c3500 dually six bolt??

[Dylan97C1500]

i was kind of curious if any of ya'll know anything about a possible six bolt front end on the 94 one ton dually's. there are some people in the town i live in that drive it all the time and it has the eight bolt dually rear end like normal. but the front end has a six bolt front end. was that an option on some of the trucks or what? it has been boggling my mind for awhile now. any thoughts?

are they running dual tires...or single....i am guessing that they converted to the full floater which is 8 lug...from a ten bolt, lite duty.. or a semi floater, med duty....that are both 6 lug...maybe there were no 6 lug semi's available.....or they didn't know a semi floater, came in 6 lug

what do the front wheels look like are they regular wheels or dually wheels? reason I ask id because there is a guy here with a c1500 that he put an 8lug dually rear end and bed on. its a pretty trippy sight the first time you see it then you're like..... oh I see what you did there

no not a option, someone put a 14 bolt or dana 70 dually rear under a 1/2 ton and either put on the flares or swapped the bed

Dont the 3500HDs have a wide 6 lug front wheel?

its 5 lug, its the same pattern as the 10 lug rear just 5 of the lugs removed

Does anybody know what the purpose was in doing this? I've noticed it before and have often wondered.
