I have just recieved my D60 14bolt axles and my H1 wheels are on the way. I was looking at the front axle and it is out of a dully. the hubs are wider than a SRW truck. Can I use the hubs and not recenter my H1 wheels? Is there a different hub I can use on the rear? Any help would be great!

I'm might be wrong but I believe that H1 wheels can be used on DRW D60's without mods. That doesnt do you a whole lot of good though because your rear axle might not work with them correctly without massive spacers.
i think you can pick up a d70 rear from a dually from a junkyard fairly cheap, and you'll be good to go. that would be the cheapest route.
otherwise, you can purchase srw front d60 hubs and have your h1 rims recentered.

Is the track width wider on the Dually rear axle. For some reason I thought they were even narrower than the SRW axles.
drw rear axles are wider, just think about the dish of the inner wheels on a dually.
I could be completely wrong, but I thought you had to run a D70 rear with srw hubs to get the spacing similar to the drw front.
i run drw60 and 70hd with 14b hubs on it and the WMS front and rear is now ~77.5", with the stock h1's it looks saweet!
the dually 14b are narrower at about 63" or so, the d70hd dually is wider about 73" or so
the dually 14b are narrower at about 63" or so, the d70hd dually is wider about 73" or so
crazy idea but can a dually 60 front hub be bolted to a 10 bolt or 44.
Sorry, wont fit.
Cab & chassis dually = rear axle narrower than SRW
Pick up dually (OE w/ bed) = rear axle wider than SRW
But the WMS to WMS on the rear is still a good bit narrower than the front DRW spacing.

Not meaning to thread hijack, but I've been considering this set up for my Blazer. One question though, will running the stock H1 rims with that amount of backspacing cause too much stress on the hubs?
this is my D60 front with DRW hubs and H1's that are stock.http://coloradok5.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=67915&stc=1&d=1216080026
This is the 14 bolt that is 72" wide. I think with 2" spacers it will work great.http://coloradok5.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=67916&stc=1&d=1216080026

Here is what you do. Take the gears from the narrow 14FF and put them in the wide 14FF. They are a direct swap. Now your gears match the front 60.
Next to make the rear match the track width of the front you can run 2" spacers on each side or you can swap on a set of SRW 14FF hubs just like you would do on a D70 rear.

There are 2 types of 14FF dually. One is the C&C which is 63" and the other is a 2wd pickup dually that is ~72".
The WMS is narrower than a dually 60 front but only by the usual 3" overall like every other GM axle.

Are you sure that is a wide 14FF. The shock mounts make me think it is a SRW 14FF from a 3/4 T truck.

I have no idea, but the spring pearches had to be moved so I think it was out of a 1 ton. The width is 70". I put the axles under the blazer yeaserday and with the 2" spacer it is a perfect fit. If it was wider I would have trouble fitting down the trail. I will post pictures when the swap in complete.
