My 82 is still the small pattern----5 on 4-1/2"
I think by 85 on up to at least 93 all of them were the same-----5 on 5-1/2"---same as ford truck (but those wheels' center too small for the Dodge) and Jeep
I see you have an 83 in your signiture----pop a hubcap and have a look, if they are different sizes----it WILL be VERY noticable
I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is 5 on 4 1/2 for short wheel base 2wd trucks, and 5 on 5-1/2 for long wheel base and all 4wd trucks, that is the pattern i have noticed in the d100's, d150's, and RC's that i have seen.
Actually, according to the email that Chrysler sent me with a list of the options on my truck, it has the 46RE transmission. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll change my sig.
4X4 started the bigger pattern in 80 or 81; I've heard of some '79s with PART TIME 4WD from the factory with the 5 on 5-1/2. My 81 W 150 had the bigger pattern.
Even B vans were the same way; my buddy used to have an 87; his rear end went bad; we got one out of an 84; worked fine with a swap of the original 87 axles into the 84 housing so he didn't need 2 spares.
