Illegal to run singles on dually?
I may buy a '92-'93 W250 or W350 CC (Club Cab AKA Extra Cab) with manual & was wondering if I could get away with running singles on the outside if I bought the W350? Really have no need for a dually but '92-'93 W250's CC with manuals are rare so adding the W350 to my search will improve my chances of finding what I want.<br><br>I've seen trucks in my area running with less than 4 tires in the rear. Examples include a '90ish Ford truck running singles on the inside but that didn't look 'right' & a pre-'88 GM with service body with only 3 tires which really looked ugly! I know both trucks have been running like that for some time so I thought perhaps there's no law against it.

Re:Illegal to run singles on dually?
the first Generations look like that you could get away with running singles. The wheel skirts are thin and look mostly like flares then anything. I would change the rear end though so as not to put extra strain on the axle (leverage) then put on a lift and big ol tires and....and....whoa, easy there I got a little head of myself. Just my imagination working. Shouldn't be illegal, check local laws. Good luck!

Just would lower the axle capacity. With some thought to track width everything would be fine. No need to change the axle you would be over strength.
