they sell spacers adapters for the rear that brings the wheels where they need to be and the eaziest way in the front is mount different hubs from a dually that is if you have a 3/4 ton truck or a single wheel one ton

the time i thought about it there where no shortie duallies to be found but there comming out of the woodwork lately , not that i mind

i had special arms made by porterbuild that fit his C10 dropmember and one ton dropped spindles the bottom balljoints are larger on the one ton

LOL!!! Yup, his is running, and all the body work is done except for mounting the fenders. He is using all the suspension off of my doner dually, and he is a mastermind with the interior. Mine has a long way to go!!

Is he using the 1/2 ton frame w/the 1-ton suspension stuff (albeit on air)?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

he is using the rearend, a-arms, drop spindles, and springs off of the 1-ton. the frame is 1/2 ton! it is gonna be a very low static drop

Ouch.... Tell him to re-think the static drop part. My short wide w/the HD 8-leaf springs is on the edge of ride quality (so much so that I eagerly await the swap to air). A swb dually would do better w/some bags in back.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Ok since we are kinda talking about it....What is the Frame difference between a crewcab single wheel c30 1ton suspension vs a c20 3/4t suspension. I'm looking to shorten the crewcab to make a 1/2t shortbed.

Thanks

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Nothing as far as I know. the SRW C-20 and C-30 frames are identical.
but the DRW rear spring hangers are different. On the DRW the springs are moved closer into the frame for tire/wheel clearance. If I remember correctly it is @ 3 inches overall.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

I think Michael was mainly asking about the frames, not to speak for him, but I believe he is looking to build a 1/2 ton crew cab short bed.

Oops guess we posted at the same time.
I just mainly want to get the info out there about the duallys having different hangers. I never knew that until I found out for myself the hard way
