HELP! C1500 8 lug conversion!

[Y La Cheyenne Apa]

Since I didn't get much help on my other posts, I'll post the rendering this time
This is what I plan to have as my finished project suspension and wheel wise. '93 Silverado c1500
My question is exactly what parts do I need to do a 8 lug conversion without running adapters? I will use adapters from8 lug to 10 lug when I get my 323 duallysportz brutis wheels, but for now I will ride on 8 lug rallys, help!

Theres a dodge in an old truckin magazine that is running 1 rear dually wheel on a narrowed rearend under the stock bed. It was built by dima wheels if I remember right its red and black.

here is the article in truckin:

Like in the other post youll need upper control arms, spindles and hub from a 3500 and the rearend. You can use the 2500/3500 single rear wheel front hub if you run after market control arms but they need to be ordered an .75" to an 1" longer than stock that's how they get the front wheels to tuck and turn while low on a body dropped dually. The 2500/3500 single wheel rear rearend I believe is a couple of inchs narrower than a 3500 dual wheel setup.

Do you think i should just get 5 to 10 lug adapters?

Thats the route I would go. Look into Dima wheels they do a lot of custom machining if they don't have the adapters im sure he can make you some, they are also the only company to offer smooth aluminum dually wheels. There located in texas

I gave you a complete answer even without complete information from you in the first place. You just have to read...and not feel like everyone is here to figure out everything on your truck for you, especially when you jump right back in with some comment acting like nobody is helping you. Good luck 'cause I'm done, that's for sure!
