Fender kits here, http://www.duallyfendersusa.com/

and wheel adapter kits here, http://www.customduallytruckaccessor...-adapters.html or here, http://www.arrowcraft.com/

I've seen a few of these converted trucks over the years. Some look nicer than others. I think they can be done well and look good. My 2001 Durmax had Alcoa dually 19.5's(10 bolt) on it using wheel adapters. I never had any troubles or vibrations.

there are a lot of those in my town.. I think states changed the weight for towing so instead of buying a new truck they just swap the axle... I know church vans are doing that becuase of insurace and roll over protection..

I'm glad i'm not the only one that is constantly looking at other vehicles while driving around. I notice all kinds of weird stuff that my wife or friends don't even notice. Sometimes is blatantly obvious, sometimes its very subtle.
