F250 dually????

[Soundguy]

Did you consider that he might have just put f-250 badges on a f-350?

if you will note in my message I was unsure of exactly what I was looking at. didn't rule anything out.

for all I know he was in a wreck and got 2 fenders and a tailgate from a f250 in a junk yard to repalce his.... long stretch there.. but plausible..

Now I also think a flat bed over a set of dually's looks much nicer than a flatbed on a srw truck.

Agreed. I think duallies look better with flatbeds and true work bodies; but I can't stand the look of the glommed on fenders of dually pickups. From the rear they remind me of a fat woman's butt.

A friend of mine put 250 emblems on a 350 because of a work truck covenant in his neighborhood.

A 350 is considered a work truck but a 250 is not? haha, reason #8,233 not to live in one of those neighborhoods..

The only good HOASS is no HOASS. I hate ours.

Don't be a hater. I hear those kind are more appreciative of a good man. Big bonus is supposedly you can leave em home alone and not worry about your buddies sneaking over

...that guy had no lawn this year or last,

Has he called for the lawn doctor yet?

I don't care for the wide butt of a duallie either.
I've often said if the whole truck was that wide I'd buy one in a minute:thumbsup:
Just seems improper to me to add that width in the rear without really taking advantage of it.:confused3:

I wouldn't live in any neighborhood that wouldn't allow my dually.

That's why we live in the woods. Our driveway is 4/10th mile long, and we're the only ones here. It's over 1/4 mile to the nearest neighbor.

BTW, I probably wouldn't live in any neighborhood that would have me!

For the 1999 model year, the nearest I can the only real difference between a F-250 SRW and a F-350 SRW are the rear springs.

Yup, that's about it for the differences between F250 and 350. Everything that fits on one will fit the other.

The first time I ever saw a half ton dually pickup conversion was over 50 years ago. A high school buddy and fishing partner had a couple of older brothers who worked as mechanics and put duals on a half ton pickup. They also had a couple of 25 hp Wizard outboard motors with 12 hp emblems so they could amaze people at how fast their 12 hp motors were.:laughing:

But a few years ago, one of my brothers put duals on his 3/4 ton Chevy Suburban for pulling a big travel trailer.

I should have known there would be problems when I poured the 9' walls for the basement and the neighbor complained it would disrupt his sump pump...

Dumbest thing I have ever heard. He should be fined for being an idiot.

thankis guys.. confirmed what I was thinking.. ie a conversion, and for the most part.. not much more difference than rubber ont he grounsd as axle ratings didn't chenge, even if springs and tire overall contact ratings did.

it was just something curious isaw.. only other think I had seen near was a half ton with fender flaires like a dually.. but with realy, treally wide, srw tires on.. liek the things were 12-14" wide maybee... 'looked' like a dually but was srw.. just darn wide suckers, and needed the extended 'wide but' fenders.
