Dually boxes are cut differently then the fleetside. Dually box wheel wells are cut bigger.

Re: dually tub trim whats under it

I believe what he is saying is about the trim. And yes there is holes underneath. On the bedsides you would need to weld the holes shut and on the dually fenders you could either use filler or fiberglass on those.

Yeah with the trim its gonna leave holes but they can be filled easy if you don't want to put trim back on it.

Re: dually tub trim whats under it

It ain't like the factory just bolted dually fenders on a regular bed - the wheel wells are cut a good bit bigger and a filler panel is needed between inside and outside bed skins. Can't just pull dually fenders off and add a piece of trim, it doesn't work that way.
