I would like to know if I put a 6bolt dually rear axle in my 1985 pickup from a U Haul truck will the front hubs also fit so I can have same size wheels ?

nope, two different 6 bolt wheel patterns.
Some people have been able to find custom wheel adapters

dually set up from U Haul truck to pickup

I may have used the word "wheel" wrong. What i am asking is ...if I can use the hub???? so I can then put the front wheels on from the U Haul truck ? I want the wheels to match the dually rear ones so I only need one spare.

You want to put a dually rear from a Uhaul truck under your '85 pickup. You also want to put the front hubs from that Uhaul truck onto your pickup?

Is your truck 2wd or 4wd?

I don't have direct experience with what you're asking but we're here to help if possible.

It would seem, to me, that it would be just as easy to put both axles from the Uhaul under your pickup. Either way, a lot of work to keep matching wheels. As dropzone said, just buy adapters.

there are a couple threads where people have swapped in dually rears. i forget what it entailed but do some searching and youll find the answers you're looking for.
i am always in favor of this project under any circumstances and conditions and I wish you best of luck. Keep the dream alive for me and post what you find out.
