Default change from DRW to SRW

HI Guys
I have a 2001 Ford 350 crew cab drw the axle snub broke. I am having trouble finding a dually rear for it. If I get a SRW rear end what do I have to do to the front to make it work. I know I gotta take the flares of the bed and paint. But is it possible to do the front without changing everything? Thanks for any help

The differance is $1500 for a new rear end...

Or about 5-7k to swap out the front end, rear end and paint.

I think the choice is clear.

Whoa there. All you have to do is take the dually adapters off the front axle to fit srw wheels on it. Truck pullers do it all the time. Find a different bed and ur g2g

Thanks 94CTD, I was told a F350 Rear is same as Dually. Just need spacers up front & DRW's & obvious fender flares to convert. As to the OP, I'd be interested in a trade or would buy either your flares or complete bed & or flares. LMK
