I'm used to 6-12 mpg... If I could figure out how to make a signature I'd put a few of my trucks on it... vans, trucks, broncos.... 6-12 mpg... haha

you may have to have a certain number of posts....click on your N32 and go to your profile. somewhere on there you see user cp(control panel) click on it and see edit signature....just monkey around on there and you will figure it out

I didnt say you did... but it cant be that they just measured the floor longways either... like I said, the long bed floor is 8 feet long. Not 6-10...

OK, the bed may have been a special order...

Heres your answer right here,truck was cobbled together.Ford did not make a 4x4 Dually pickup untill 99.Now before I get a bunch of replies saying they have seen plenty Pre 99 4x4 dually pickups so have I and they are all conversions .

You got somethin there Kahuna... I'd just like to know who did the job... Its a very professional looking job... I've seen alot of conversions, good and bad, and this is definitely a good one.. Whatever else it is its a cool truck and in decent shape.

Conversions can be classics to! Think Centurion...

I didnt get the truck... oh well....

Anyway from what I've been able to gather so far the 4x4 conversion was done by a local company, but I still havent been able to find any info on the bed...

Well even though I didnt get this truck, I am fascinated with the idea now... Sooooooo... I may just build one! I'm looking for an older dually to haul my camper until I can find and build my 'dream' camper rig... once I do that, I was gonna sell the dually, but now if I can find the right one I'll just convert it to a short bed! I know, if only it was that easy.... But I do want to do this eventually... I'll let you know if and when I get started...

good question... Not really sure why, but it's tents and motorhomes only at most tracks... Besides, a truck camper can park in the tent camping, which is MUCH cheaper than RV parking....
