He is using 2 frames because it is just as easy and the frames are also and they are both 4x4. The 2 frames that are being used are both 2 inches shorter than a factory crew cab frame so it will be that much lighter.

A dually bed is just a fleet side bed with a bigger wheel well opening and holes in it for the dually fenders to attach to. To make a short bed dually you just cue the openingto match the inner wheel tub and drill the holes as needed.
