Daully rear end
Yea for me. I just bought a 1972 crew cab. Driving it home noticed a noise when i hit a bump. Long story short the inside tire is hitting the inner fenderwell. The guy that had it before me did'nt have a bed on it so he put a nice bed on to sell it. Was there different beds for the dually's? How do you tell if its original? I'll post pic's tonight.

Re: Daully rear end
No there weren't different beds for the duallies. There never were pickup beds on duallies. They were only made as flatbeds or cab/chassis trucks. You will likely need a wider rear axle if you wanted to keep a bed on it.

Re: Daully rear end
Does anyone have any pics of a dually bump with a regular bed? I know they never came factory but someone has to have made one custom. There is a guy in my town that has a '66 shortbed he made into a dually and it has a diesel, just seen it cruising a few times, never could get a pic though .

Re: Daully rear end
You would have to modify the inner fenders.

Re: Daully rear end
Can I just replace the rims on it and just have a single axle? I would rather have 31's on it anyway even though I like the dually.

Re: Daully rear end
I figure you could, but does your truck use Budd wheels on the front so the spare can go front or rear like the newer trucks?

Re: Daully rear end
How much do the outer tires stick out from the fenders? Are the front wheels dually wheels or regular? I don't think crew cabs were built as duallies in '72. It is most likely a SRW truck that somebody put Dually wheels on. You should be able to put regular wheels on it. Did you say you had some pictures?

Re: Daully rear end
About half of the outer wheel is sticking out in the back. Still trying to figure out how to post pics

Re: Daully rear end
That has all the signs and symtoms of being a SRW crew with a dualie rear axel. Look at the front end it's for a SRW. Flatbed called it well. Looks pretty cool though.
Perhaps if you want to keep it a dualie, some one off fenders on the outside of the bed to cover the rear wheels would be awsome. Then put a dualie front end on it, that would be
