does anyone know what i would have to do to turn my 86 f150 to a 350 dualie i can get a dana 60 axle and duce and a half springs i need a dump truck but cant afford big dollars when i already have 3 trucks so i thought this one might work any help is apreciated

 

Sure, what you'll need to do is get an F-350 frame and axles and swap your body onto it. Then swap over all the brake hardware, etc.

1-ton trucks are a lot more than springs and axles. If you manage to convert yours to a dually, and load it up accordingly, you're going to put far more stress on the frame than it was ever designed to handle. It will likely break soon, possibly causing injury or death to those in and around the vehicle.

Not really worth risking your life and everything you own.

 

You have three trucks... Hhhmmm, perhaps sell one, two or three and buy a proper truck?

And as in the last post, no, you can't easily, cheaply or safely convert a 1/2 to a 1 ton.

 

imo, Most dump trailers easily surpass most light trucks as dump trucks at a cheaper price. You might be better off buying a dump trailer.

There is no way to safely make a F-150 into a F-350 dump truck. There is a hugh difference in frame thickness and the thickness really counts in the flanges. Then there are the hangers, the shackles, etc. Not to mention a one ton full floating 8 lug rear end, a one ton mstr cycl and booster far bigger then the F-150, way bigger disc brakes in the front, etc.

I guess the real question is, what are you looking to dump, how much of it, and are you taking the vehicle off road with a load?

 

im looking at buying a peice of property and have to be able to take a load of dirt or gravel home every night so a dump trailer wouldn't really be a good solution if anyone is interested in a 86 f150 with a 5.0 ho from a mustang contact me i need to sell it to buy a bigger truck

 

Okay, then your only "real" solution is to buy a DRW F-350, with or without a dump body, because it sounds like you are talking at least 3,000 pounds and you want to go "off road" to dump it.

I would suggest looking for a newer manual transmission truck with DRW and a 460 EFI that has been pulling a boat or better a horse trailer.
