GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

[Fat 454]

Hi All,

can anyone shed any light on this vehicle style. My son is looking at buying a GMT 400 crew for a work truck, and this popped up. Probably going to be counted out as running costs will be through the roof with duals etc., however I have not seen many, and assumed they are quite "rare" ( heavily overused term these days ). Any knowledge about how many built, reviews, ownership, performance, running costs or general scuttlebutt appreciated. ( PS the dually fenders are split and open with the back doors - I think thats cool !.. ) Thanks..

Those were aftermarket conversions. There was more than one company that sold parts, iirc, Arrowcraft was the common one.

Also, when you are talking about large trucks, a dually doesn't really add a measurable amount to the running costs. The difference in mpg is miniscule and the rear tires should last longer, somewhat offsetting the cost of two additional tires.
