Will Dually truck rear ends.....

swap into a van easily ?
I'd like to know if it can be done w/o welding on the rear end itself and such
I prefer to swap rear ends to using adapters to make a dually .
Anyone else done one ?

I would think you would need to go and check and measure the units involved. Width of springs on each one, the mounting location etc. You do understand that you will need to modify the wheel wells and outer body dont you?

The other question you must consider is this...is it from a Cube Van ? OR a F-series.....as they are different....The Cab / Chassis E 350/450/550 are diffrent from the Trucks ( F Series ).... The Dana 70 or 80 from the Cubes are Wider than the F series so the Inside wheel fits but the outside wheel sticks out a bit ( and the Tires are 225/75/16 ) the F series are different ( AFTER 97) ....offset is different too compared to the Vans...
