Hey guys I have a 2003 f350 7.3l 4 door long bed truck that's 4 wheel drive and I was wonder if anyone has heard of or have done this but I want to make it a dually, I'll have to buy a rearend and a bed for it, does the reared just fall into place or is there some fabrication that has to be done for it to fit ? I know this probably weird but I just love the look of the ford dually and was wondering if it's workable and cost efficient ? Thanks for reading.

cost efficient in the long run, no. unless you like buying tires every 20K. you don't even need the rear end. just the hubs, the spacer is kinda built in. then the front spacer just bolts on.
