I'm talking about original military rims. No doubt some civilian rims probably exist to accomplish this, as some were used under later PW flatbeds. Unfortunately, the photos I've seen were taken at an angle, and I could not see the hole pattern, though the application should have been the standard 5-lug. I've been told the (typically) white rims with the round holes from late 50's W series trucks can be dualed, but I don't think they are 16" rims. I'm not a PW expert, just a military Dodge enthusiast.
If anyone knows of readily available rims that will allow 9.00x16 tires to be dualed on a 41 WC, I'd sure like to hear about it.
BTW, I have a set of Budd M37 rims that were converted for dualie use by cutting out the inner wheel assembly, and then rewelding it offset on the rim. A huge by large spacer was used to complete the job. They are ugly as hell, but they work. (And they are spoken for, I'm holding them for a fellow enthusiast in Seattle.)
