Dually speculation

Alright guys, I need some help. My brother wrecked his truck a few months ago. He rolled his 02' F-350 flatbed 7.3 dually crew cab lariat 4x4, and its totaled. The motor is worn out, and the cab is crushed. Now I have a rare opportunity because of this. I have a 97' F-250 single cab 7.3 4x4 with a flatbed and I have been thinking about converting it to straight axle in the front for a while. Now, I want to take both his axles, and throw them under my truck. I wanted to know if his 02' F-350 axles will bolt right onto my spring mounts, or what I might need to do to make it fit, and also what your guys' thoughts are on this. I am regularly hauling heavy trailers, and heavy loads in my bed, and a dually would really give me some stability and capacity. Give it a thought, thanks DRD!
Edit: spelling
this is the truck i want to convert to a dually: My truck - Imgur dont have any pics of my brothers flatbed.

Just measure them.
There's a lot more to getting them to fit than just spring perches.
Search the forum. This has been asked and gone over many times.
Wheel bolt pattern is different as well.

(Getting this back to top for you also)

The rear axle will bolt in.
