I think he means the rear dually flares since he was talking about converting it to a dually rear axle. Is that correct lindsdavid?

     Welcome back, looks like you took a couple of years.  Love your truck, been looking for a 77 k30 crew single rear axle for awhile now, almost got one about 6 months ago, but someone else beat me to it.

shifting to tall-thin 285x75r16 mud radials... better fuel mileage?

the less surface area you have of a tire the less resistance= better millage. then the taller the tire you are essentially dropping the rear ratio numbers, so if you do alot of stop and go it wont help but cruising you will save. i went from a 16" wide 38 to a 12" 38 and picked up a little over 1 mpg
