Narrow Dually

[kgillyk5]

Is this narrow dually have any draw backs for a tow/plow vehicle? Is it rated the same as the wider dually axle? Also, is there still 4' between wheel wells for loading plywood nekkid?

Thanks.

It was probably a cab & chassis that had a standard bed added to it. Towing is usually rated more I think because of no bed. Don't know about the 4' bed but I do know that the 68 to 72 only had duallys with the standard bed, at least the ones I have seen. Don't know how they came from the factory though.

That's not a factory dually, at least not that bed. I would guess it's a C&C with a stock bed, or a C&C axle under a stock truck.

If the wheel wells are factory, yeah, there's still 4' in there ... but tire clearance is gonna be CLOSE on the inside.

I did that to my truck, actually spaced the wheels out 2" on each side farther than the C&C (regular hubs), and *still* tubbed the fenders in (maybe 2-3" each side) to fit the tires with some room.
