you can use the factory 7.50 duals for the half ton military truck but you need the 4.83 diffs and you might go 50 mph or plus if you have the 5.83 s you might go 35 plus--if you are just working it on a farm as a farm truck you could even put dual 7.50s front and rear and have a real truck tractor for great traction and hauling capacities even pull a trailer behind it for serious off road work
if you want to run the 900s you have to find the elusive special order outer wheel that is moved way out and bolts to the stock rim or there may be a spacer you can use but you may still need to move the outer wheel out
or you can move both centers out 1 3/8s which gives you 3/4 s of an inch between side walls but if you do this you need to turn plus or minus and 1/8 off the outside diameter of the brake drums so the inner wheel will slide over the drum and snug up to the drum otherwise it the rim will hit the drum before it snugs up
or you can move one center way out like the elusive factory special order outer rim but to do this you will have to cut the rivet flange area of the center down to a diameter so you can move it all the way out but still inside be inside the rim and weld it up there and bolt it to the stock wheel
i have done all of the above exceptt this last scenario, however i hve poppet the rivets and measured and am 89.99999999 % sure it will work------------lololol
