I am new to the forum and with a little looking I have found several posted pics of 4X4 1 ton duallys. Since the 4X4 1 ton dually did not make its appearance until somewhere around 1976 or 1977, I am curious how these conversions are done. Is it easier to do a complete frame swap or is it easier to do a front drive axle install? Any help is greatly appreciated.
