Bob, there were two different rear hubs. the single wheel rear hub moves the wheel mounting flange out about 4" from the dually position. Its right about where the axle shaft flange mounts. The M715 rims are a good option as they are easy to find and are welded to the center disk; they are otherwise very similar to the riveted Dodge rims for the 900-16 tires, but they set the tire about 1" further out, so it will increase the track about 2" over the Dodge rims. The Dodge D300 used several different u-joint sizes. The big one (about 4 1/8" wide)that was also used on the W300 is the same as the big ones on the flatfenders from tranny to transfer (305) I'm not sure about the smaller sizes, but shouldn't be too hard to find. Note that the axel ratio in the Dana 70 won't match exactly with the front 5.83 vs 5.87 Rob
