Dana 70 Dually

Just picked up a '74 F350 Dually flat bed. I would like to put the Dana 70 on my '75 F350 Crew build. I haven't done any measurements or anything yet as I just picked it up and brought it to my shop and am waiting to mess with it tonight.

Questions:

Can I put single wheel tires on the dually? Or is the Brake drums bigger? What do I need to do in order to get this axle on my 75' Crew Cab Long bed frame with single wheels. Thanks!

ALL 1963/78 F350's, 1979 F350 2WD's came with the Dana 70.

But there were no DRW F350 pickups (Stylesides only) until 1980. All 1953/79 F350's with DRW's were only sold as a Cab & Chassis, or with factory installed flat & stake beds.

That is good to know. Thanks Bill. So in other words, I'll be able to slap this Dana 70 on my '75 Crew frame and put single rears on it. Thanks!
