Utility bed for a Mega Cab Dually

I know that Utility beds are popular for short bed single rear wheel trucks, and definitely for long bed duallys, but does anyone know of someone making a utility bed for a dually mega cab? That is kind of a rare combo. I want to avoid getting custom. Also need one that will clear my gooskeck, so the bed rails cant get too high.

Also,
Does anyone know the cab to axle dimension for a mega cab?

Thanks!!!

I have seen shortbed utility boxes/service beds, but havent seen any shortbed/dually widths. Check with some of the larger service body companies, Reading being one, and a few others...

That or get DixieMfg to make you a slick bed!

That one looks sweet.
Anyone else have some pics of short bed dually utility beds?

I checked Knaphide... Do you guys know the names of some others? My google searches dont show up with too many choices.

Thanks,

B&W (like the hitches) make some nice beds.

If you're looking for more of a traditional service bed Pacific make a nice one. They custom made the bed on our survey truck.

Good idea to get rid of that factory ugly thing Dodge calls a bed on the Megacab dually. Why not find a longbed dually and extend you frame and make the truck Dodge should have made with a full 8' bed. Man I would consider getting a mega if I could have a long bed. I did see a post on here with some pic's of a company in Texas doing custom conversions that are being sold at dealers in Texas with a long bed. But maybe you need a hauler bed, so sorry for the reply if you are set on going that route. Maybe get a deal on a standard 8' hauler bed and cut it with a plasma to shorten it to the length you need. You could do that in a day for sure with a mig welder and a plasma and a grinder, and some safety glasses for sure. But I would assume any company that makes hauler beds could make one for you if you don't have access to those tools.
