Singles or duals on a Shorten DEUCE's rear-end?????

[joesco]

Trying to get all my ducks in a row before I start my project so I am looking for some advice when I begin my project of shortening my new deuce. Should I do singles all around or keep the duals on the rear?

Plus's / minus's, advantages / disadvantages?

Thanks very much!

Bigger tires look better singled. If you stay with 900x20s I say dual.

Just my , I just got rims and tires from odiron and here in the near future I will be flipping my rear hubs putting singles on my truck.

i say go diffrent and run some 1100x20s as duals. Just remember you can always take a rim back off, and flip a hub out. Most importantly end up with what yuo think works for you.

Singles!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say go with the singles. The duals on a short wheelbase look kind of goofy to me almost as if it was a circus truck made to do front wheel stands (kind of like short box dually pickups). The singles make the truck look alot stouter in my opinion-

Either way you go the truck will still look cool.

Put the biggest singles on that you can squeeze under it. Limits off road ability and clearances, but looks cool.

I've had it both ways. Currently running duals. It is noticably more nimble (if you can use that word when describing a deuce) and stops much quicker with singles.

Headwizard - Your truck really has the Wow look to it with them big skins.

Steve (DF) - Have never seen your truck before. It is a beauty!
Some serious time spent refurbishing it and it shows. Hats off to ya.

Spent the day with the guys down here at the local MV junkyard

I really have the bug to loose the center axle but not sure if I want to bob it or not. You bobbed guys are an inspiration.

Wait..................

Had to run outside - A B-17 just flew over at about 1200ft agl!!! Probably headed for the Conferderate Air Force guys at the airport by my house.

Got goosebumps right now.

Edit!!!

Hey it just came back over. Grabbed the camera and slammed a picture as it was headed east towards the sun. Ratz. 10 seconds earlier and it would have been directly overhead.

I like the look of the duals if you go with the 11.00's like dirtyfingers, personally I don't care for the ndt 9.00's dualed. Singled out I like a bigger tire. The 46's and 53's look really good but with the 53's you should fabricate some lift so they don't rub offroad.

I didi this one a couple years ago, and with a Detroit Locker in the rear, it pulled great.

I say 53" Single Michelins. With a little body lift, it will turn out looking awesome, just like this one. Man, thanks for the new background.
