hey guys,  i really wanna do a reg cab long bed dually but they are impossible to find..  and just happen to have aquired a reg cab long bed 1\2 ton truck in a trade for my 4rinner project. its a 93 chevy if that helps.  i found a 3\4 ton truck in the salvage yard with the complete suspension front and back.  can i just use that stuff to make it 8 lug.  will the control arms bolt up in the stock spots? and are the 3\4 front hubs the same as 1 ton?  im not going to be towing 3 or 4 car trailor or anything so im not looking for that kind of stuff...  just remember seeing a reg cab dually done back in the day with a topper and i liked it....

hmm i know for sure the rear end should bolt up, as for the front, its possible it all bolts up.

the wheels should bolt up but the hubs are different, so dually wheels will sit way inside the fenders unless you run dually hubs go on duallyscene.com people on there can probably answer your question better

www.arrowcraft.com has dually spacers, and flares. I just installed a kit on a 2006 Silverado at work, they seemed to work well. Fitment was not bad. -Brad
