33 Ford BB pickup- duallies or singles tires?

When I bought this truck I thought it was suppose to have dual rear wheels but then I had someone tell me it looked like it was built for singles. As I keeps looking at the hub on the rear drums it sticks out so far that I have to wonder if that was for duals not singles. What do you think?

Anyone have any close up pics of duals ( I aint sure I know how to put them together since I aint never seen one).

 

I think it's single, as is.

 

Single

 

Single.

 

anyone have any pics of a dully for this year?

 

is some pictures of our 32 shop truck.it had singles when we got it,but it looked too goofy to leave that way.

here is what you need to add another set of wheels to the rear.i got this from www.macsautoparts.com

hope this helps.

Looking at the books (still have not found '33 truck salesman's manual) duals were optional, same wheels, new lugs to attach...probably based on usage and bed type of truck. Trucks certainly came both ways

 

So even though that hub is sticking wayyyy out there doesnt mean it was a dually? I mean I am fine with that saves me 400.00 in two more tires not to mention the rims but I want it to be original.

 

Your hub is way out just like on a Ford passenger rear for the same reason...long tapered axle retaining hub outside the area where bearing lives. In '34, maybe late '33, Ford went from the 3/4 floater rear to full floater on the trucks, resulting in a shorter axle with flat end.

 

Fenders= Single
Flat bed or Dump body = Duals

 

The dually 1 1/2 ton trucks had a wider rear fender that could accomodate the duals. They also had a funny looking running board that looked kind of like a wedge that tappered from the wider rear fenders to the normal width of the board. Yours was definatly a single rear wheel option.
