[Roughneck714]

Hey everynody! Havent neen on hell i think since my intro way back when. But i wanted to get input on what i should do rearend wise. After years of my 1984 Chevy k30 sitting Im finally started working on it. Was thinking about duallying it. Can i just convert my 14ff or go with a Dana 70?

Iirc, there were different widths on the axle tubes for the dually axles. The d70 would probably be the cleanest route to take.

That's what I thought too

You can bolt duals right on your axle, but if you want to run a stock bed with dually fenders, you will need the D70. It has a wider housing.

Cab and Chassis rear and spring mounts and keep the normal bed

According to the old pontiac commercials, wider is better.

Are we to believe an anorexic coyote? He’d say anything to get a meal. Lol

The spring hangers wouldn't be needed, all the 1-ton rears use the same narrow spring spacing.

This is what it would look like with duals on your current rear end.

Idk that's pretty bad ass! That' not a cab and chassis rear end?

I read the post related to the picture and it is a cab/chassic rear end, but it would give him a close idea. My K30 has the 2000+ alloy wheels. You can see from the photo, I could fit a dually wheel with no issues.

That rig looks sweet. But I really want that wider ass end look. So the Dana 70 is what Im thinking is the route I need to take

Kinda surprised yours isn't set up like that by now. They don't get pissy about an extra set of swampers digging on the back in your class?
