Re: New member / shopping question!
I'm really not a fan of long beds, and even less appreciative of dually fenders.
There's a pretty nice 14 bolt rear-end build-up article in the new (May 2012) Diesel Power Magazine. I'll probably duplicate that build with the addition of adding a step to narrow the rear axles and housings.
I bought the C10 yesterday, I'll trailer it to Yuma on Friday and get a pic or two of the starting point.
The airbag platforms, I think, might limit how narrow I can go with the rear axle in order to get a full tuck with a set of rear duals inside the bed. The footprint of the bags is directly related to the load capacity of the bags. Since I plan to use it as a tow vehicle, I really can't go small.
Time, and a little blood on the knuckles, will tell.
