Guess I could have left the last post off! I understand your thinking though Byron, these things seem extremely big being a dually.
No worries Darin! I still appreciate the input. I was planning on the new wheels and I have a line on a bed. I thought it was all stuff I could do the weekend, but if I have to replace the axle then never mind. But yeah, I am getting tired of it as a DD!!
I've got enough parts here to build a 2wd CCSB. Maybe even a 5spd if that deal I was working on pans out. I'll build it and trade you straight up for Ruby!
I will reply more later, but I thought the axles on the regular pickups were the same and narrower on the C&C?

I don't know the dimensions, but the frames on the C&C are narrower. Also, the axles are all different lengths. Dually axles are longer than C&C axles. And SRW axles are different still. And, I learned this recently, they do make SRW, (or at least they did) C&C's which have a different length axle too.
And I have my diff with ls 4.10 from my truck from when I swaped the axle for a low mileage ls 3.55 (15k) from an 7.3 IDI.
Dangit!

I personally would post around and see if you can find someone that wants to do a drw conversion and swap with them. A couple hundred in fuel to travel may be worth it
The front hubs ARE just spacers. Remove them and you're good to go.
Thanks! That's what I thought I had read.

Yeah Mike, I might do that. I gotta think on it for a few days and really make sure it's what I want to do.
