Dually Question
Did Ford offer the F350 dually in a regular pick-up bed configuration prior to 1978? I've seen plenty of '78 and up duallies with the 8' pick up bed and fender flares, but I can't say that I've seen them in a pre-'78 truck. I did a Google search for photos, but they were all '78 and up. All the '77 and lower duallies were either flatbeds, stakebeds, utility beds, or tow truck beds. I'm just wondering because I saw an ad for a pre '78 Dually with a stakebed on it and I was wondering how hard it would be to find the same year bed with flares for it. BTW, this one has an I6 with the four speed granny low in it. I bet it's a pullin monster.

Hmmmm. I thought for sure I've seen them on the 78 and up trucks. Maybe they were custom fabs.

Mine was fabricated....I'm pretty sure there were no beds with flares prior to 80's that were OEM from Ford. My DRW truck came without a bed (was a fleet cab and chassis.)

That is correct, anytime you see one, they are aftermarket or fabricated.
Several places sell them. (or used to in the '70s & '80s)

Nope, not a one.
All 1953/79 F350's with DRW were sold as either a Cab & Chassis, or with a Flat or Stake Bed.

First F350 DRW Styleside Pickup: 1980 / No Flareside Pickups were ever offered w/DRW
