I have a Chevy Dually. With just the inner wheel on it looks funny. I don't think you can just remove the outer wheel and be ok.

The wheel has to be so big to fit over the brakes and concaved like a giant salad bowl when turned inside like the inner wheel is the lug nuts stick way out past the edge of the tires and a big round center hub of the axle sticks out wider past the lug nuts.

Even with just a single inner wheel the tire is sticking out wider than the body of the bed...

you can swap the dually hubs for standard rear wheel hubs on a dually axle and a cab and chassis axle, so all you need is 1 rearend for 1 setup, i think the dana 80 is the same way, but i cant be too sure......
