But as franklin was saying. The ONLY way to get a 4wd dually form 80-97 was a cab-n-chassis. It is not that difficult to mount a regular dually bed to it BUT. the wheel bases are different than pick ups. For example.. a reg cab 8' bed pick up has 133" wheel base. a reg cab cab-n-chassis w the shortest frame made has a 137" wheel base. SO you either will have a 4" gap between the cab and bed or you will have to shorten the frame.
if you want a 4wd crewcab(4 door), dually, you would be best suited to buy a truck like you found and then convert it to a dually

I guess you guys are spoiled by the no rust thing. Up here in PA. The bed off the truck is worth almost 1000, the cab another 1000, the nose 500 and the diesel radiatior support you could name ANY price. Then of course the there is the drivetrain and frame
