    My M880 Thread (pics plus bonus M882)

    I have used 16" Ford rims, IIRC they were a little wider than the dodge 16" steelies. The center hole from the Chevy's is too small @ 4-3/4, Need 4-7/8 to clear the rear hub.

    48V electrical systems?

    The military Dodge has 28v generators in addition to the 12v sytem Those versions had 3 batteries, 1 for the truck & 2 for the 24v radio system (your typical 12v system has a 14v alternator and the 24v system has a 28v generator.)
