Default Finished Converting my Dually to a single wheel

Just wanted to share pics of how i changed it to a single wheel. It was not hard at all, just change the bed and take the front hubs off and put regular wheels on. People always told me that the rear wheels would stick out about an inch in both sides, they always have drum in the rear. I guess it made a difference from having disc in the rear beacuse i cant tell the difference.

From selling the old bed and wheels paid for the conversion.

Everyone asked WHY??? And i said because I WANT TO!!!!
