Over in Revcon land we are discussing wheel conversion options.

The Revcon starts with a Toro front clip and bolts on a massive wheel adapter.

Underneath my front wheels is a stock, chevy five lug front hub.

Did GMC do that or did they make a new hub/rotor ?

We are pondering options to get the wheels from the obscure 5 on 8 inch pattern to something more common like an 8 lug dually rim

THanks.

To my knowledge the GMC has a unique large lower ball joint, knuckle for the larger joint & 8 lug hub that are not on the TORO/ELDRO.

Dave,
The Revcons also have massive, upper and lower control arms. This
should have been done to the GMC also.
