Biggest issue is the wheel flare and how it has to go over the back door as well. I've seen a few but the flares were totally custom...and expensive looking.
I agree. Dually trucks can use a fifth wheel for trailers, and with a four door truck you have almost as much interior room. My opinion.
I disagree with the "almost as much interior room as a 4 door truck". I bought my Excursion to haul 6 people comfortably and pull a 21' travel trailer 5000 miles. That just was not possible with my 4 door cab truck, especially the "6 people comfortably" part. I could possibly see a dually X being a little more stable with a large trailer.
I also just brought this up with some people who came to talk to me about my 59 and the excursion conversation turned to making it a dually and just for the hell of it cutting away roof line from back seat back and making it to where I can haul a goose neck horse trailer.
They said it would be fun project. So we are contemplating cutting into it. The dually we pondered but it got a negative.

Thats my reason right there. I have load range E tires now and it tow pretty good but my toy hauler has a heavy tongue weight when I don't have toy in the back to balence it out.
There was a company that did conversions on Suburbans in the 80's / 90's. I just happened to see one at a dealer 2 wks ago. I'll see if it's still there for the company name - they had a badge on the truck.

Why do you guys keep saying there is no purpose ? Whats the purpose of a dually pick up ? Wont this make towing more stable and safer ? Less wear on the rear tires ?
drw excursions are done all the time in conjunction with an f-650/750 graft. the front fenders stick out and so they use dually fenders in back too. http://www.f650pickups.com/indexb.html
