Anything look familiar (or not) to some of you factory dually guys?
Edit: sorry, she's sideways.

In the video everything looks factory, even the crappy wiring. The easiest way to convert would be to buy a dually bed, so that may be what they did. It's what I'd do.
If you come across I-64 shout out. I'll meet ya for lunch if time permits.Thanks guys, learned a lot abot my cobbletruck, looks like i've got a fresh, rust free dually bed with good wheels and spacers to sell when i switch to SRW/flatbed. That should be a hit back in the rustbelt.
I'll be lurking around as the forum as much as i can on deployment these next few months, i'll keep yall posted when i try to ride this heap cross country in the spring, possibly towing my girl's chrysler 200. Should be fun.
Definite SRW to DRW conversion. As far as I've seen, no dually has bolt-on spacers from OE. Especially not one that changes the lug pattern from 8x6.5. (As shown by the pic of the GM steel front wheel laying on the driveway)Well, bit of a mystery solved i guess. Anybody have enough experience with the rear fenders to identify OEM vs this conversion? Honestly this might be good news, Knock on wood if it was converted FROM SRW, the trip back shouldn't be too rough. And the bed replacement, even if it is just the wide hips added, would explain the respray making it look original. I'll snap some pics of the fender and check for logos, markings, and paint colors.
And thanks for that info dump, my 88 was an Oshawa truck as well.
Good catch on the lack of extra overload pack and the brackets/snubbers/whatever you want to call them that they contact when a heavy load comes into play. You can barely spot them in the pic of my old green dually up there with the fender flare removed.Definite SRW to DRW conversion. As far as I've seen, no dually has bolt-on spacers from OE.

Also, weren't the majority of duallys equipped with an second set if overload helper springs, mounted above the main leaf pack? The "wheel off pic" doesn't even show holes in the frame for the mounts...
Hey OP, when you unbolt the spacer, what is the pattern and lug thread?
