Dually wheels on a 72

Ditching the bed for a flatbed and wanting to go dually with it. Don't think I'll have any issues with the rear(tell me if I'm wrong) but will the fronts be set too far in? Should I use a spacer or what's the best way to go about this? Going to get a converter so I can go from 5 bolt to 8 bolt, will that be enough spacing?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Dually wheels on a 72

Interesting conversion. I am curious. Would it not be easier to just locate some 3/4 ton spindle and wheel assemblies and get stronger spindles, bearings and brakes?
Some of our members have some real sharp flatbeds.
