DRW conversion

I have a 2001 SRW that I want to convert to DRW.

Will the stock DRW wheels bolt on my Dana 70 axle without modification?

How hard will it be to mount the rear fenders? I'm thinking about a template for marking and drilling all the holes. Any tips or tricks for this?

We test fitted one of my dually wheels on a 98 SRW with drums, definitely a no go. Not sure if you have drums or discs, but they likely won't fit on either unless you get some adapters.

That's what I was afraid of,
I guess we'll have to look into a spacer of somesort.

as far as the fenders go, just find a dually bed. a lot simpler to paint it than to modify the old one and also if you have a standard trans, you probably have a d80 in the rear

Although if you have a shortbed, putting the fenders on that to make a shortbed dually would look crazy! Maybe some 22.5"s or a super single on the rear!

That will not work....I have a short bed. The fenders will fit, they go from the taillights to the cab but they do fit.
