Drw to srw

i am thinking of converting my 05 drw into a srw...would srw wheels fit or look funky bc of the axles/hubs? if i take the dually flares off would there be a lot of holes behind them or can i install aftermarket fender flares that would cover them up?

I think this is the first I have heard this requested. Most of the time I hear guys wanting to convert to a dually. Can I ask why you would want to convert? How about a set of super singles in the rear? The srw's and drw's have different rear axles and I do not think it will be an easy switch.

it'd probably be cheaper to sell and buy another truck, or trade with someone

I think you will have to change the box as I believe it has been modified to much for the fenders to just take them off. I also believe the bolt pattern on the wheels are different on the 05 and newer dually's than the srw's. the drw's are 8 on 200 and the srw's are 8 on 170. Not positive but pretty sure. You can probably find some one on here who would swao you the parts possibly.
