4.63 and 5.13 are the only two gear ratios offered for the C3500HD. All of them had the 10 hole wheels. They left out half of the studs up front to save $ on Manufacturing, but it is the same bracing plates, and same wheels. All C3500HDs had the 19.5" rims.

They all came with 225/70R19.5, LR: F which luckily is very common. 99+ F450 and 550s, and the new dodge 4500/5500s all run the same size, so used tires are fairly plentiful. There are many HT, AT, and MT tires offered in this size

Our 92 with the 4.63s and 225/70R19.5s runs similar to our 98 or 00 3500s with 16" and 4.10s. I imagine one with the 5.13s will run like a regular 3500 with 4.56s.

Just the guy I was looking to hear from! It seems you have a fleet of these ):h . I was just looking at discount tire and tire rack and neither have these tires. I bet this one has 4.63 since it gets 15-16mpg (supposedly).
 
If you don't want the mirrors please let me know. You can't see around a trailer with the standard mirrors. Also post up some good pics of them on the door as the install is not clear for aftermarket version of em.

I can see most of what I want with aftermarket FURD TYPE mirrors. Never used them but I have seen them. The jungle gym hanging off the door would have to go ASAP. They will be forsale and carefully removed for this purpose.
 
I just modified my jungle Jim's today. I took the lower brace, and re-bent the angles and attached it to the center bolt of the main brace, and it goes upward to an angle and I attached it to the verticle brace.

Useless to even explain this without pictures, but my camera shit the bed... It looks SO MUCH BETTER.

Well I modified one of them :) I got sidetracked by new hardware inside and out, and wrapping the doors with some ProtectoWrap ice n water shield that I accumulate a ton of as a benefit of doing what I do.

Gonna wrap my inside door panel too.. why not...

sorry OT
 
you were talking about a 14 bolt swap: if you want the flexibility of options of the 14 bolt, look for a p-chassis that has the 14 bolt with the neck up (necks down to go into pumpkin) axle tubes that come with the 10 bolt hubs and spring perches for chassis cabs. our 98 p-chassis has this axle. If you want to look for one, it was a handicapped bus, and has a BBC. it is a 1998.
 
Well, dad farms, and brokers farm equipment in the off season, and we have the family farm rented out in ID, but we still go out each year to combine, and all those activities require the flatbed pickups. mainly the machinery brokering. but we use them to haul around farm equipment, basically.

my dead 95 diesel is to kill weeds wherever it is parked. :)

but yes, farm equipment related hauling needs is what they are there for. Dad can keep so many cause they are cheap. Purchase, insurance, etc. 50 bucks a year liability through Farm Bureaus flatbed farm truck rate. not a one has been bought for more than $3,000

This is what I plan on. I can pretty much build a fleet of these for cheap and get the job done. My family farms ~10,000 acres here in Oklahoma and runs alot of cattle. I am fixing to graduate college and am looking to start a seed, fertilizer, and chem business to fund my farming. A c&c truck would do great for deliveries and moving equip. Now if only the wife saw it my way :rolleyes5:
 
c3500HD is prolly the best seed hauling rig around, if you do it by pallets. the ol girl is built like a brick shit house! dads 92 was assigned the task of, and completed the task of towing a 42 foot Krause disc. anything heavy, the HD performs!

Thats what I like to hear! I am notorious for loading things until the breaking point, I could use a good challenge ):h .

I will be selling seed by the pallet. We also load our swather on a flat bed trailer and pull it between fields, up to 80 miles at times. I will take a pic of the next trip we make, should be tomorrow morning. We pull this behind a 2001 GMC Crew Cab Dually 4x4 8.1L w/ ~260,000 miles on it, its a hauss! That truck replaced Ol' Blue in my sig in 2006 (Ol' Blue will rise again).
 
The truck sold but a new/ better prospect surfaced!

Could it be something to do with security? Any of these trucks have the PATS chip in the key?

1k with the extra IP's and PMD's included?
 
That is a possibility. I would most likely put the original steering colum back on to negate the security prob there and clear existing security code, however that is done. Can I get a new key cut from a dealer by just giving the vin?

New IP's and PMD's included! he says $2000 worth of them. I miss spoke 3 new IP's w/ new pmd's, 1 rebuilt mech IP (used to narrow down to not PMD), and original IP.
 
Did you put the mech IP on? if you did that would rule out theft deterrent.
