how do convert a dually to a regular axle

how easy is it to convert one

Well It's pretty straight forward, but some model's of these truck's use different spring hanger's the other's due to the spring pack's being 1 in. more inboard on the frame because of having dual wheel's versus a single wheel, but not every dually is that way it just depend's on how it's suspension options. So basically remove spring's, wheel's, remove the dually overload spring bumpstop's, and axle, swap the bed out for a single wheel bed, and very possibly change the driveshaft, the dually rear end has a longer pinion than the single wheel but you may have the slack available in the carrier bearing. Then install new single wheel, spring's rearend, etc.

That's what I want is another crew cab dually, I have a good 8 lug 14 bolt full floater single wheel rear end sitting in my yard, I would throw in the leaf spring's too!

Throw some Michelin X-One singles on there and you won't have to worry about the duals!
