Can somebody help with info concerning converting my 1965 1 ton Dodge chassis from 6 bolt split rim wheels to 8 bolt tubeless rims? Thank you. Greg

Hi Red, I was checking out the link you posted. I was looking for the rims, it's right it's a 17" rim, but I don't think the rim is for tubeless tires. Look at the slot where the valve stem comes out of it (looks similar to my 16" split rims). I guess, you must use a tube with a stem with 90 degree angle. The side is high, too (where the tired has contact to the rim) like on mine rims. Kind regards

Greg, I haven't had much luck finding a way to convert the existing dana 70 axles to 8 lug. My suggestion is to see if you can get someone to build you a set of wheels.
