i'm not sure if you want to put actual rotors on the rear or drums?

You could compare wheel bearings between the 2 applications as well as the caliper.  The only one I have ever converted was a 72 GMC 1 ton from single wheel to a dually set up.  It was a direct swap.  The truck is still around and know is a tow truck.

I have checked the front bearings are the same so i guess they will work on the front . what will i need to put dual wheels on the rear?

[Stewart G Griffin]

So are you actually trying to put rotors on the rear, or just dual wheels on the rear?

A dually rear end from a non-cab and chassis should bolt right in.  To bad you are not closer, I have everything you need on my 87 Crew cab dually that I am going to a single wheel set up and making it a short bed.

Is the 14Bolt you have a full float or semi float?

If it is full, you can put the dual setup off a 1T on it, but it will be narrow like a cab and chassis.

[necromonger]

It is a full float rear end.
