    GOT MY WHEELS TODAY!!! Added pic of XL on wheel!

    I'm putting a 6.2 to a NV4500 trans in Katie's M715. I didn't want to go with the stock bellhousing and forced hydraulic linkage so I picked up and old lakewood scattershield so I'd be able to modify it. Had to relocate three of four threaded inserts, redrill housing of transmission, open up...

    GOT MY WHEELS TODAY!!! Added pic of XL on wheel!

    I used a 13" single disc truck clutch. Full pad on disc not the 6 pucks like the deuces. If my CAT was at 275hp or more, I'd go with a twin disc set up. Okay...it's been a while, but if I recall correctly...the 3053A's bell is an SAE #3, the CAT had an SAE #2 and the Multifuel had some messed...

    RDD, Physically, they'll fit on the truck. The rear axles are right about 48" apart and these are about 46" around so there's gonna be enough clearance to work. OR...you mean that pesky 10 hole pattern? I've got that taken care of compliments of AutoCad and a CNC Waterjet machine...

    Well, here's just about what they'll look like. I don't have the plate that will be sandwiched inbetween the can and the original center, but refund time is nearly here!

    I have the same wheels you have on yours on my M715. Same 6" back and 4" front spacing...would like to have a little more backspacing on those. I *think* they're 10" cans on the 5 ton wheels. Check the pic, you can see that the original 10 hole center raises up and is about parallel with the...

    GOT MY WHEELS TODAY!!! Added pic of XL on wheel!

    Here's how close it is. The deuce lug pattern is 6 on 8-3/4" centers. The center hole in the combat wheel is 8-3/4". So you gotta figure that whatever size driver/extension thickness, half of it is gonna be into that center hole. Oh, and it looks like there's gonna like 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" from new...

    GOT MY WHEELS TODAY!!! Added pic of XL on wheel!

    Lets just be honest here...I had wood over my wheels today. Seven, five ton, 20 bolt, beadlock wheels! Sooo nice...ahhhh. The plan is to sandwich a waterjet cut plate inbetween the back half can and the front plate. The tough decision is to decide if it will be possible to keep the 10 hole...
