For me, that is. My buddy just got a 2001 3500 DRW QC 4x4 with the sport package. He doesn't want the alum. flatbed on it, so we're gonna trade beds. My regular 8' bed off my 2500, and a set of Arrowcraft fenders I'm gonna give him. I'm gonna put on my dual wheels and the flatbed on mine.

Is there a difference in the frame rail width between a 99 2500 and a 01 3500 dually? I'm gonna force this bed on there one way or another, but I'm hoping to make an easy swap. Any issues I should be on the lookout for?

 

I don't know, maybe someone could answer that questions. Keep doing searches on dually adapters. It seems like there was a good thread a while back.

 

MIght call the bed manufacturer and ask them!

 

As long as the 3500 wasn't a CC, the frames would be the same.

CC was wider than bed equipped trucks.

 

If his buddy's truck is a Sport model it won't be a CC. Should be not problem at all.

 

Thanks for the info. I think it will fit, I crawled around under it today and checked it out. Can't wait to install it.

 

Aren't CC frames on dodges 34"s... Like most CC? Don't remember what width the frame rails are on the 2nd gens...

 

DOH! Sometimes the obvious is sooooooo hard to see.

Thanks, a gold star for you.

 

I parked right beside his truck today, and spent a half hour crawling around with a tape measure and plotting and scheming. The only difference is the axle width, mine is wider than his dually. He says now he wants a SRW, so maybe we can swap axles.
