I did a search but didn't really find out what I wanted. I have a '95 4x4 I plow snow with. I'd like to put a flat/dump bed on it to haul leaves, mulch, salt spreader etc. I would like to know if I find a rear end from a dually of around the same year (94 to 97) would it be a direct bolt in. or would it be to much of a hassle.

Thanks

Steve

 

it will bolt in, but you need the u bolts and lower plates. and you can use one from 94 to 02 but to use a late model with disk brakes will require a lot more parts.

 

Thank you sir. That is the info I was looking for.

 

if your truck is a auto with a dana 70 you will need to shorten the rear drive shaft a inch and a half. if i remember right.

 

Would I be able to use the drive shaft from the 1 ton or are the u-joints different size.
