Exchanging for dual wheels

I jsut got a 76 super Cab camper Special 250. probably going to put a flat bed on it. Was wondering what would be involved in putting on duallies in the back. Do I have to change the back rearend with a 350? Probably also want to put in some kind of locker or limited slip in as we have a steep diveway that can be a real bitch in the winter time. I will mainly be using this truck to haul and tow. Will probably have a big dog box for sled dogs in the winter time. It has a 460 in itn so lots or of power, some times too much.

You can buy spacers for about $300 or use axle from 80-later F350 dually that originally had a pickup bed. Chassis/cab truck axles are narrower.

Thumbs up Exchanging for dual wheels

I just put a dual wheel dana 70 from a 1979 ford truck (cab & chassis) into my 1971 ford pickup. the cab & chassis rear ends are narrower than one from a pickup, but they fit a pickup nicely, I only had to put 4" fender flares to cover the exposed tire.
