Yes, the F-350 could be either single rear wheel (SRW) or dual rear wheel (DRW). The SRW was a 9' Express bed pickup while the DRW was a flat bed or stake bed. Naturally the F-500 and bigger models were all DRW (with some custom application exceptions). Stu

Yes, the f350 usually had duallys. Almost every one I've seen has some sort of flatbed or service body however I did see one picture of an F350 with a 9ft flare side bed with duallys(flares extended farther than a standard flareside). I'll see if I can dig the pictures of.
This is mine, '59 F250 with '59 F350 dually running gear. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do for fender flares.

Collin, I didn't think the p-u box would fit over the f350 gear, but yours seems lined up in your styleside wheel wells. I would have thought you'd need to tub the inner fender wells to go around the factory cab/chassis wheel spread. BTW, I love the red frame and the nice detailing on your chassis.

Nice looking truck, Colin. That's close to what I have in mind for my F350, after it retires from grain hauling. Should make a heckuva solid pickup!
I may try to incorporate the hoist under the pickup box, just to have the best of both worlds.

Then there's my version of taking a f350 just like yours and building a pickup. Most of you here have already seen this too many times....

Thanks! You're right, it has a 1.5" wheel spacers on each side in the back(total 3" wider overall). Had to have them custom made, I can try to find who it was if you want.

Already solved mine by using a wider axle from a dually pickup as opposed to a dually cab/chassis. I don't plan on running it as a dually. I wanted it set up like the older f350 pickups, dodge powerwagons etc.

All previous F350's with DRW were only available as a Cab & Chassis, or with factory installed Platform (flat bed) or Platform & Rack (stake bed).

It currently has a tool box between cab and box, but im pretty sure the strech was to fit a sleeper. it has a 324 olds rocket/powerglide in it (i'm pretty sure it was just what they had, it has a hole in a piston)
It was grandpa's baby, and he used it for firewood (still have the dump trailer he built too) after his health kept him from being able to drive truck anymore.
me and dad always talked about finding a 6v53 detroit (grandpa loved those leaky turds) and twin sticking it. I'd be happy with a wore out 6.9.
