[A/S] Diesel Duallies (was best truck opinion)




Hello List;

Somebody correct me if I am wrong here.  A dually is just a single with a 
kit.  The kit adds two outside rear wheels and a wider fender to cover them. 
In addition a dually may or may not have a 4.10 rear drive and maybe firmer 
suspension.  To make a dually back to a single would only require the 
removal of the outside two wheels and the fender flares, correct?  Sooooo, 
if one were to get a fantastic deal on a dually, but wanted only a single, 
could one not just convert it back to a single, thereby eliminating the 
added tire expense of six versus four?  Now I have not looked really closely 
at these dually setups, but I do know that kits are/were available to 
convert TO dually, so it should be possible to go back, right?
