If it's 2wd, you can convert to dually VERY easily.
Find a dually PICKUP axle. Not to be confused the cab and chassis dually's like a dump truck, flatbed, or the like.
It will need to be a pickup axle from an F350 pickup with a 37.5" wide frame.
The cab and chassis trucks run a 34" wide frame and the spring perches are int he wrong place.
As for the front, find any dually F350 from 80-91, and probably 92-97 also, and get the wheel hubs. They're bolted to the disc brake rotor. You can buy new rotors,a nd then bolt the hubs to the rotors, install fresh wheel bearings and bolt 'em on. I bought 85 2wd F250 SRW front hubs and botled them onto my 85 F350 to go over to SRW.

You might have good luck starting a new thread with a good title when the time gets closer so more people with that type of knowledge will open it and reply for ya.

I've got a set of dually hubs here if you're anywhere near Western Mass, when the snow melts and I can get to them they're getting scrapped LOL
