Dually axle is better IMO... purpose-built and engineered.

Fenders? ... consider the fenders from a 55-66 Chevy C-10 stepside.

Depends what axle is sourced... A dually Dent axle would be ideal. Grab the leaf springs. Also the driveshaft if it matches your driveline configuration.

Otherwise, determine potential donors by researching axle widths, leaf pad to leaf pad dimensions, leaf spring widths, pinion yoke/u-joint sizes, desired gearing, etc.
