I have an odd question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am not sure on the direction I want to go with my truck.
I am pondering the idea of converting my 67 1/2t GMC to a dulley and changing the front to match.

Will the front spindles interchange or do will I have change the upper and lower control arms as well??

I am not really looking to haul more but the added stoutness will help..
just thinking out loud

Thoughts? or if someone has pics of a swb stepside dulley, Please post

Thanks

I vote that a longbed beats a shortbed in this case.The truck will be too short,not to mention the ride.And,it will leave folks wondering why it needs to be so stout?Even a custom slammed painted out dually looks like it could haul a race car,speed boat,or has a useful purpose for that extra couple of tires sticking out the side.

I think you should turn right and drive it into my garage and sign the registration over to ME and then go buy a dually! That makes perfectly good sense to ME!
