Re: My New Truck

No, it is not factory built.

The narrower dual wheel axle was used on Cab Chassis models. Cab chassis were essentially pickups built with no box, so that the owner could install a flatbed or high cube compartment on the back.

So - it would be relatively easy to install a cab chassis axle in a fleetside pickup - or - to install a pickup box on a cab chassis - but a narrow axle dually pickup was not a factory option.
