Message: [QUOTE="Zeb, post: 1537513, member: 30304"] A srw pickup uses a Sterling 10.5 axle, regardless of whether it has a pickup bed or is a cab and chassis. A drw tuck uses a Dana 80, but there are different wheel mount and spring pad widths depending whether they are cab and chassis or dually bed. The srw Sterling axle and c&c Dana 80 share the same wheel mount to wheel mount width, but the spring pads and shocks are 3” narrower spacing on the c&c axle. The Dana 80 from a truck with a dually bed shares the same spring pad width as the srw axle, but wheel mount to wheel mount width is 3-4” wider. The axle tubes and axle shafts are longer, there is no spacer that you can add to a srw axle to convert it. If you’re wanting to convert your srw to drw you’re best bet is to find a 2000-2004 dually Dana 80. If you get a 2005+ rear end the wheel bolt pattern won’t match the front end. Srw is 8x170mm, 2005+ duallys are 8x200 mm. Be prepared to shorten the drive shaft a couple inches, and possibly need to swap gear ratios in one of your axles. Most duallys are 4.10, and most srw trucks are 3.73 gears. As for the bed, good luck finding a short dually bed. I can’t comment on adding dually fenders to a srw bed. [/QUOTE]
