Odd looking Dually.....
Anyone else noticed anything "different" about this dually?
This is a 1984 F350 6.9 4 speed for sell, for 900$ that the throw out bearing has let go, and the truck does not move anymore. Not really interesting in it, just thaught I'd show y'all.

I'm looking around for a van accually lol Turn it into a real *******' Wagon 
I'm either looking for a standard Ford (gas or diesel) truck or diesel van, or standard van, no care in the world what's it got for an engine, as long as it runs and stops. lol
I just find it so boring driving around an auto when i started off by driving standard, theres like....nothing to do driving an auto!

It's a cab-chassis setup is what I'm thinking, converter do a pickup bed. If you just slap dually wheels on a SRW axle you still end up pretty wide, cause them inners won't clear the leaf packs and you gotta run some spacers for that.
It's a special build, military trucks mostly - they use a narrowed 14-bolt axle, IIRC the spring packs get moved to the inboard side of the frame rails which makes the truck failry unstable for spirited driving but for military use this matters none, however cause of the narrower axle it can haul more than a regular 1-ton DRW and it fits everywhere a regular SRW truck fits which can be real useful in forest regions. They only came with fleetside beds tho, their fenders are widened towards the inboard to accommodate the dual wheels - any stepside bed you saw on one of these trucks is a custom mod, likely taking inner fenders from a fleetside bed and bolting them to the inboard side of the stepside walls (after cutting the sides and the floor to match, of course).
