Fake Dually....Need Help

I have a 1991 F350 4x4 that started life as a single rear wheel truck. It then went to Rollalong and went through a conversion process. One of the things they did , was turn it into a dually by adding wheel spacers and fender flares. For a variety of reasons, I want to make it a "true" dually... tire & wheel options, brakes, strength etc. etc. My questions are: What is my axle now?, (it does not appear to be a Dana of any type). Is a 2 wheel drive dually form that same year my only option for a swap? I would also like to know about the ABS system, Does the doner axle have to have the ABS as well,? if so, are they all the same (dually & non dually, 2 & 4 wheel drive) & what will it do to the trucks computer if anything at all? I would love to hear that a late model ( 2000 era) Dana axle would bolt right in, but I'm sure there are too many differences between my 91 and new. As you can see, I am new to the FTE site & since I can't seem to get the answers at any of the local shops or from the guys (mechanics) at the dealership, I thought I might ask all you Ford gurus.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. I'm sure I'll be back for more later.
