dentside 4x4 dually?

Quite simple... did they ever make one? I am supposed to look at one this week for a friend. He is not interested in someones science project, if it is not original (owner claims it is) then he is not going to be interested. I told him I have never seen one, but that doesn't mean anything. So did Ford produce a dentside 4x4 dually?

F350 dually cab and chassis and flat bed. There never was a dually pick up from the factory, either 2 or 4WD.

If I remember right U haul had trucks that were dents and duallys. I'm sure they came as a cab and chassis as well. I don't think it would be that hard to take a dually axle and figure out some fender flares though.

I know they made duallys, I was more curious if they made a dually 4x4. I currently know where a UHaul dually is sitting.

Oh, I thought you were asking if Ford made a dually pick up. Oops!

That was a super nice build . Loved it. But on that one, they dropped a dentside crew cab on a dodge dually diesel chassis.
On that one, my question? How did they title it?

Edit: Come to think of it, was that a 2 or 4WD build? I don't remember.

It was two wheel drive because they used a Dodge Ram 2500 2WD which had IFS back then. They pick n pulled a Dana 80 DRW axle and I think they used flare side fenders to cover the extra rear wheels. Guess that answers the question that no, there wasn't a dually dentside.

That is by far one of my favorite builds. Might even spend the money to buy the build on DVD.

If you were to find a 4x4 dually dentside it would probly be something custom built for the forestry or fire fighting or something along that vein and it would have some sort of service box I pressume. May come as a crew cab. Out side of that the truck your looking at has been Frankenstiened probly. Make sure it was done properly, if its factory expect it to be worth a golden **** pot due to the rarity.

They can be built with oem parts if it's what you want.

They did make F-350 chassis cab duallies that were factory 4x4. I know a guy who has a '79 that is a factory 4x4.

F600 4x4 is a factory dually 4x4 dentside. There you go.
