I want to make a dually out of a long bed.
I need to know from what vehicle I can rob the dually rear end out of that will work under a stock long bed 67-72. I believe it needs to be narrower than a stock dually...like a gruman van or something.
Does anyone have any info on this?????????? Thanks |

Cab/chassis trucks from 67 up to 91 (old body 73-87 style) will have rear ends that will work as far as leaf spring spacing. You will have to modify your inner wheel tubs in the bed to run a cab/chassis dually rear. One drawback to this is that you no longer have 4 feet between the tubs; something to think about if hauling sheet goods.

Re: I want to make a dually out of a long bed.

Re: I want to make a dually out of a long bed.
that's my plan too, but I want to cut it so it is narrower in front.

That is a cool truck but it needs two more doors to be just right!

Re: I want to make a dually out of a long bed.
Heres a few pics of my bed, the 14 bolt rear I am using is a standard 1 ton rear so its a little wider than a cab and chassis rear. Mine uses the stepside fenders and has been tubbed, I'm in the process of changing to the larger 3 1/2" brake shoes for much better stopping power.
I may also switch to cab & chasiss hubs to tuck the tires in 2" more but I'll have to wait and see how the tires fit when its back together.

I would love to see a profile shot of the side of your bed, just want to get an idea of how wide your step-dually-side fenders look from the rear. Is this the one that is getting the new wheels??? That is going to look great!
