Re: Factory 1/2 ton dually???
It looks like the OP was only on here for 2 days in 2017.
I have to agree that it is a 1/2 ton long bed truck that someone hung 1 ton running gear under. The front end is just unbolt and bolt The rear axle would have to be narrowed to put the dual wheels inside the fenders.
I've seen guys go both ways between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton running gear under 67/72 trucks. The 3/4 to 1/2 ton because he had a great looking 3/4 ton and wanted to run 5 lug wheels and the 1/2 to 3/4 because he had a camper that was too heavy for the 1/2 ton and his buddy had a banged up 3/4 the same year with good running gear and springs.
They did that one in a weekend and it turned out pretty nice.
