Thinking of making my truck a dually-look-alike... :) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

well, I'm definitely not sure yet if it's the way to go but I've been thinking for the last couple hours about taking the fenders off my stepside and putting them on a SWB fleetside bed and instead of making it a real dually (which would be useless for this truck) i could have some 15x15s and matching big-rubber... it would be functional/practical for racing if I have enough HP...

hmmmmm... it would be interesting... but I'm not married to the idea...

What do you think? I'm not sure if I like it more than a SWB stepside or even fleetside SWB... but I have the stepside fenders so it makes it a harder decision...

I don't think those fenders look right slapped on a fleet side.
I have seen the daullie fenders with wide rubber though...looks sweet.
I think this is the best lookin daulie fender set up i have seen yet....

There is a dually near my house that uses a normal fleetside short box with no modifications to the outside of it. The wheel tubs are widened and it has a dually rear end on it. The guy said the rear end came from a 1979 one ton tow truck. He said it was the only rear end he could find to fit the tight space. I will try to get pics.

Hmmm, I was thinking that longhorn had the fernders off of a '88 - 90-whatever that were modified to fit and look right.
