pops dually

I've got a 88 crew cab dually at my house that we're converting to a short bed 1/2 ton crew cab, but the original bed & rear end are still here. I've got 95" from outside to outside of the dually fenders, and 92" from outside to outside of the 16" tires on the dually rear end.

Looks like you've got 305/40-22s on those wheels, they are way more squared off than the stock 235/85-16s that these trucks came with. You might want to go 1" - 1.5" narrower than stock to be sure they clear the inside of the fenders because they do have a slight inward curve to them as they go up so they are narrower at the top.

Thanks for the help guys, looks like 4.5" is going to do it. Now on to figuring out where to mount bags!

Thats 4.5 per side? That sounds like enough but 4.5 overall wont be

I meant per side!

I got some parts from guilty by design yesterday, waiting on the axle tabs to come. Parts look real good! I was going to get moving on making my rear bars, and bag brackets. But I just got word I'm Leavin for Indy on Monday for a month, so no progress till then. By the way guilty, disregard my emails!!!!

Got a few things mocked up. Need to get my bed over to my shop to make sure it all will fit after I narrow rear end.

progress is always good

Well I haven't been on here in a while, been working a bunch and collecting some parts. So no progress on truck but I got some pics of parts I have.



Got all the stuff for rear disc conversion, and porterbuiltdirect sent me a rack still waiting on the rest of the stuff from porterbuiltdirect. Big box is all the cab and bed mounts and hardware. Also waiting on a little tool to come!

Getting stuff done. Just need to weld lower bag brackets, and the rear can get narrowed. Also need to do driveshaft loop, and mounts for shocks
