Show me your 1 ton dually's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking at buying a 69 one ton dually that has no box....I'm not sure what kind of box they came with and I wasnted to see what everyone else has. I know I could put a flat bed on it but want to see what everyone else has.

they didn't come with pick up beds or boxes at all. Some had flatbeds from GM, but most were cab/chassis.
A one ton with single rear wheels could be had with a 9 foot step side bed 67 - 72, or a fleet side bed mid 68 - 72 (the latter were longhorns) but no dual rear wheels with pick up beds.

However there are a few dually owners here that have fleetside beds with stepside fenders mounted to the outside to cover the dual wheels. I think 67 C30 has one doesn't he? Maybe he'll put up a pic or two.

there's been MANY with pick up beds installed... and mine may just get a DRW rear thrown under it. I was just mentioning that to his comment of "not sure what kind of box came on them".

Yep, that's me! There are several others on that have them too. Mine came with a flatbed, and I cut the frame to a 127" wheelbase, added a LWB bed, and cut down stepside fenders to make a dually pickup. My rearend is also wider than would have come in a '67 - '72. Its a 14 bolt out of a '97 C3500 dually pickup.

Well that looks pretty cool to me....
Is that a longhorn box?
Its hard to find a box in Canada seeing as
they have all been rotted out from
all the salt we use for the roads in the
winter....so I would assume mine will be a
flat bed. I only wish it was easier to
transport parts from the USA. You guys are
lucky. Thanks for the post.

he shortened the frame to a 127 inch wheel base, so that is a normal 8 foot bed.

I always wanted to build a Stepside dually where I`d widen/tub the bed.I guess shipping new parts is cost prohibitive,huh?Especially with the cost of new parts.
