    rearend width on cab/chassis/flatbed vs. dually truck

    Do the cab/chassis early 2000's, F450's/550's have a narrower rearend than the regular dually trucks of same years? I'm aware that the F350's cab/chassis have narrower rear axles. Working on a project and I'd like to use an F450/550 rear axle the same width as my cab/chassis F350 axle. Thanks
