Re: dually to reg ccsb

Easier to find a 14-bolt semi-floater in the right width, then convert the front to 6-lug. That would give you a nearly bullet-proof rearend so you could haul and tow without the worry. You'll still have to shorten the frame.
Easiest way is to find a half-ton extended cab long bed frame and drop all your stuff on it. You'll have to move a couple of mounts, but that's about it. I'd still use the semi-floater rearend, the 10-bolt rearends in our trucks can't take much and if you ever get in some really slick stuff and catch traction on one side, the gov-bomb is likely to blow up.
