Bridge truck question....

[Olly]

I noticed on the 800 series bridge trucks that they have dual 49's on the rear and was wondering if anyone knows how much the weight of those dual tires and wheels affected the performance of the truck? Thanks for any input.

Not much at all. Mine drove like any other 5 ton. Other than it being over width.

Thanks for the response that was exactly the information I was looking for.

And the gearing of the transmission is suited to the difference.

Thanks for the info I wasn't quite sure about that either.

Wondering what the data plate says the rear axle spacing is, I finally rounded up a third dogbone 4 spacing my rear axle out for my 16.00

We have some of the extra long bridge truck dogbones if you need

Got three already, just wondering what I gain by switching them. I'm thinking an inch a side

I'd be interested in some of those dogbones.

You can always cut the dog bones. Use good channel iron to extend them and weld the channel iron together over and to the torque rod. We used this method on deuces to fit 1400s

The bridge truck dog bones are an inch longer so they would space the tires an inch back
