dually to SRW

I see a lot of duallys on craigslist but not that many single rearwheel.
so now Iam thinking of buying a dually and converting it to srw.
now the question ? is it hard to do?? and what about the rear wheelwells?

grtz George

it's not hard to do,no.
for the front:
remove the DRW hubs,and simply bolt on the SRW D50 (f250) or D60 (srw f350) front hubs.
now you can bolt on your SRW front wheels.
for the rear:
(assuming your talking about "pickup" drw,since you mentioned wheel wells)
remove the rear axle,send the DRW pickup axle w/3:55's to me please.
and set in the SRW axle.
now your ready to install your SRW rear wheels.

for the bed,remove that too and install the SRW bed.

it's a weekend job for one average shade tree mechanic.
the DRW front hubs,6 DRW rims,the DRW rear axle,and the DRW bed are all worth good $,while all the SRW stuff you'll need,is all a dime a dozen.
you'll not only brake even,but end up a few hundred to the good (very possibly over 1k in your pocket with the DRW axle and bed being the biggest $ makers of course.)

All this is true here in the States, but he is in Netherland, probably a different story to find parts there. Also you are assuming it is a 4X4, he may be looking at a 2wd.

oh that's right.a dually pickup pre- '99 will be a 2wd anyway.
forget the D50/D60 SRW front hub swap.the ones you'll be after will come from a SRW 2wd donor.
