i was just wondering if any one has ever seen this done to a shortbox crew cab duramax diesel and what would need to be done to do so?

: converting 2007 2500 shortbox to dually? kcb37 12-19-2009, 08:38 AM The only thing you would need really should be the axle. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the springs perches and shocks and all that are the same. So a new axle should bolt in. The rear fenders will have to be made, as the fenders are part of the box now. I will also add I have seen one reg cab short bed dually on here. So you may get lucky. rolloffhill 12-19-2009, 02:20 PM http://www.chromewheel.com/PIX/chevshortfen.htm diesail 12-19-2009, 02:37 PM The only thing you would need really should be the axle. I might be mistaken as I really don't know a lot about the duallies but isn't the axle the same. It't just wheels and adapters isn't it? kcb37 12-19-2009, 04:42 PM How much is different I'm not sure, but the hubs are different. carhauler 12-19-2009, 04:46 PM I might be mistaken as I really don't know a lot about the duallies but isn't the axle the same.

You have the link to the fenders above. Here is a link to spaces http://www.wheeladapter.com/dually_spacers.php So between the adapters and spaces you will be into it for just over a grand. Plus wheels, might find a deal on ebay for those. chevsforever 12-20-2009, 05:57 PM That is a sweet truck! Is that yours? diesail 12-20-2009, 07:31 PM That is a sweet truck! Is that yours? No that is just a picture for the website that sells the fenders. chevsforever 12-20-2009, 07:42 PM Damn, I could impress the s--- out of my Ferd friends with that wheel and dually setup! :D jknight8907 12-20-2009, 08:48 PM Here's one: http://www.northtexastruckstop.com/web/1318/vehicle/483410/2006-Chevrolet-Silverado%202500HD-LT3-Mansfield-TX DURAtotheMAX 12-20-2009, 09:26 PM Here's one: http://www.northtexastruckstop.com/web/1318/vehicle/483410/2006-Chevrolet-Silverado%202500HD-LT3-Mansfield-TX that thing is sick.
