Do you mean single rear wheel instead of single rear alxe.



If so yes the did make single rear wheel models.

Hi Midwest',



As far as I know they are single axle, dual wheel 1 tons. That would be the D/W-350 in the 1st Gen.



Hope that helps.

sorry... single rear wheel 1 ton... i e. . non dually

 

[BushWakr - RIP]

I'm not positive but I do not think so. I believe that the 1 tons were all duals.

I remember reading on here about conversion to 1 ton single wheel I think.



Sorry I couldn't be more positive about this one.

In 1990 I bought a new d350 single rear wheel 360 gas truck. Later was told it was rare.

A friend of mine has a pre-intercooled 1991 W-350 SRW truck. It is identical to my 1992 W-250 except it came with a higher GVW and larger rear brakes (3" out of the factory). The springs are the same width and length as mine. There are also the same number of springs. The truck has a Dana 70 under it. Hope that helps.

An 85 SRW W-350 SHORTBED Crewcab. Dana 60's F&R (Changed the rear to a D70)

 

[bvanetten]

yes

The donor truck I used for my conversion was a bone stock 1990 1 ton 4x4 reg cab single rear wheel. They made some this way. Don't know how many.

Yep they made 'em. Got an early 91 W350 single rear wheel 4X4 sitting in my driveway.

 

[midwestdually]

sweet ... thanx fellas

 

[BushWakr - RIP]

Ok guys, I know they made the larger brakes for the 1 ton, but do they still use the same axle as the 3/4 tons' ??????



Thanks



Bob.

 

[Deerhound]

Mine appear to be the same.

I think the SRW 1 tons were more common out on the West Coast, my Dad said the Logger's preferred them over the Duallys. I think that the Dually were more common in areas that moved a lot of livestock or RV trailers.

I have had 3 1 ton single rear trucks in the last few years

92 W350 standard cab single rear wheel

93 W350 Standard cab single rear wheel

(converted to 91 Diesel Ramcharger)

85 Crew cab D350 Single Rear wheel Longbed

(Soon to be converted to Diesel)

I believe that my 91 D 250 has a one ton axle.

I bought new rear drums last year and none of the available 3/4 drums fit.

What finally fit was what I was told are 1 ton drums. They were Wagner part # BD 60328 if anybody can decipher the part number and tell for sure.

They had 2 1/2 inch shoes and 1" dia cyls.
