Dualled m101?

[gimpyrobb]

I've been toying with the idea of making a flat bed(truly flat, not m116 flat) m101. The frame I'd use is one with the old m37 style wheels. I'm thinking of running at as a dually, anyone ever done this? It should work with the m37 rims, right?

You will likely need a spacer between the rims. The M37 rims will be just shy on backspacing. Considering the same on my trailer salad 116 only 8 lug. Need a lathe to turn down hubs.

I have some nice tires already mounted on 16" rims that are made for dually application. Power King 8.00R16 tires. I got a total of 9. 5 are new and 4 are 90%.

Between the rims or the hub? I was thinking rim, thimble, rim, lug nut.

I wasn't sure if the 1st rim would hit the trailer frame.

Not sure on frame clearance but the spacer will be needed between the rim. There might be a rim somewhere with right offset.

The rims used by the wagon type trailer (walkerhunter's command camper wagon he got from Papabear) has the correct dually rims with the old m37/m101 bolt pattern.

I always wanted to find 4 and make a dually m37...

There's the answer. I know where Walkerhunter parks his trailer at the rally.

Not sure if I want to wait that long, Hmmmmm.

Perhaps we can bribe him into going to Findlay? He will never notice that all.his wheels were swapped out for M37 stuff. I'm surprised that Roger doesn't have 3 or 75 of them laying around.
