Hey everyone, I’m new here, and after over 20 years of lurking on forums for all kinds of vehicles, this is my first time ever registering and posting.
So I have a 1994 Kenworth W900 boom truck that I just keep around for fun, and have been wanting to swap military wheels/super single tires on. (I’m thinking 49s based on my tandem axle spacing, but I don’t think that’s relevant to this post) The truck has stud piloted Budd wheels from the factory, so I’m hoping it’s possible, I know stud pilot is/was popular in military rigs. I’m also curious how I mount a wheel with the big stud holes on my drive axles with the small studs. Do I use the nuts that hold the outer duals on?
Also, I had a fantasy of swapping a 6x6 front axle under it, but I definitely need air brakes, large 10 hole hub, and at least a 16-18k lb capacity. (Static weight on the steer axle is 14k currently)
Any and all insight is much appreciated!!
