Default Converting to dually

I'm not actually doing it yet but I've been thinking about replacing my bed with a dually bed and getting some really wide rims for the back. Has anyone done this or have pictures? Also what size rims and tires for the rear? My truck is a long box so I think it would be a direct swap.

Yeah there is one in town by me and its a dual with some really wide tires on it. It look bad *** IMO. Do it, very different, sure to be a head turner.

you might be able to just buy the dualie bedsides skins and put them on your box, after you take your regular skins off, I seen them on ebay a few months back, looks just like factory

ahh.. there's an OBS around here like that. Threw me off when I saw the 1/2 ton wheel style on the front with the wide bed, as I made the turn I noticed there was no separation in the "two rear wheels".... then it made sense as to why it was loping lol

The nbs beds look like they have the dually flares molded right into them so I would have to swap beds. My truck is white so I'm sure I could find a bed off a work truck.

try hitch and trailer type places, would be an easy bolt on, the places around here like that usually make flat beds also and they always have extra beds in the back
