Title: Dually with regular bed pics
Post by: momorales511 on November 03, 2013, 10:21:44 pm
anybody got any pictures with a C&C dually with a standard bed on it? I'm thinking about going that direction. any thoughts or tips? If I have a little body lift will the rear tires fit under there?

What exactly are you asking? pictures of a crew cab dually with a long bed on it? short bed?

I have a dually (C&C) and am thinking about putting a SRW bed on it. The rear end I have is narrower than a normal dually and I've heard they will fit under a normal bed.

I have a long bed crew cab. I think I like that look. curious about that gap between the cab and bed? and I will need a bed from a dual tank for the filler necks

If you are lucky enough to have the sticker still in the glovebox it will tell you if the wheelbase is 161.5" which you won't have a gap.  His truck is like mine a 135.5" wheelbase which leaves a gap of 5 inches

Straighten the steering wheel and measure center of the front wheel to center of back

Out of pure curiosity,  why do you like that look?  I am not bashing you,  I just like to know how other peoples brains work.   :P

Its clean looking, Those dang fenders are trouble waiting to happen. How many rigs you see with broken/cracked fenders? and its unique. Think outside your box there KWKENUF

Ummm...maybe I'm missing something here, but won't you have to narrow the frame around the wheels to get duals to fit?
Title: Re: Dually with regular bed pics

no need to narrow.....just need a little body lift so the inner tire clears the inside of the wheel well
