7.3L Ex

I'm looking at buying a 2002 excursion 7.3L for $12,000 and I'm going to turn it into a dually with 22" semi Rims its mainly going to be for looks and I was just wondering if anyone else has done this and what your thoughts are.

The dually F350s have a different rear axle than the F250/Excursion.

The bolt pattern is the same is it not? And for length that's why I'm getting Spacers and if I have to I will regear it.

There's one with dual wheels for sale by me in new jersey auto shopper north, don't know why any body would want to get worse gas mileage than they already have.

To properly complete the look you should get the correct front rims to match the dullys. If I was gonna go (excuse the phrase) ***** to the wall on a project like this, I'd get an F450 front axle and fender flares
