I hope some one with a 10 ton would help with this . I said 30/30 chambers may be to small because that is a common size for trucks running 11 24.5 tires and your running duel 14-24 tires . I drove a Mack and Internationals with 12-24 tires and they had larger air chambers then 30/30 .

Made this tool for a 5 ton . It makes carrying the hub and drum a lot easier and keeps your hand out of the pinch zone when sliding the assembly back on the axle and feeling for slack in the bearing.
