And to put this into perspective, I paid $600 for a mint-condition '80-'86 factory dually box in TX 'bout two years or so ago...towcat said:
The concern is not their strength, but rather that they move the load plane of the wheel (actually wheel pair, since it's a dually setup) away from the inboard bearing and more towards the outboard bearing, thus causing uneven loading at the hub. Now, those are some quite large and strong bearings, but that don't mean you should intentionally abuse them - they'll probably be just fine if you're running light most of the time, however once you start maxing out your GAWR you may be running into issues w/ premature wear of the outer bearings.ZWilson07 said:

Something else to keep in mind...the Arrowcraft fenders are designed to mount to an SRW pickup bed, and can't be interchanged with factory DRW fenders. So, when (note that I said "when", not "if") one of your fenders gets damaged beyond repair, you're essentially forced to go to Arrowcraft for a replacement, as opposed to finding a good-condition factory fender at a junkyard (albeit that's not necessarily an easy thing either).
{on edit} Oops, I missed a few posts above; didn't realize this had already been addressed...well, I will still second the original statement
Very good point, and I have one other to add. DRW drum brakes are a half inch wider than SRW brakes. This isn't a big deal if you aren't using the extra weight carrying capacity and just want the stability, but if you want to bolster your effective GVWR (albeit not as shown on the sticker
), the extra braking material is a good thing...

Thanks for all the replies guys and giving me some good fruit for thought.
On a side note, anyone know if the dual battery cables are different throughout the years?
Im needing to replace the ones on my 90 and for whatever reason rockauto is only showing ones that work for 92-94? I was under the impression that all the 7.3 idi should have the same battery setups and cables will work, so I dont know why they only show those years as I didn't think there was anything in particular different, especially for those years?

ZWilsoh07,
I have a 90 1 ton drw 4x4 idi cab & chassis parts truck for sale.
After switching out the c6 out of the 89 and put in the e4od that was in the 90 1 ton I was going to put the 1 ton axles under my 89 and make it a dually, that was about 3 years ago, but I just have to many toys and not enough time to do it.
pm me if interested

if I were you, i'd be all over that truck like a bad disease. buy the truck for the bed and rearend, even though the red may not be a perfect match, it's close enough. sell the ZF5 conversion for $700 if it shifts good. you'll be into th3e bed and rear for $500 if you paid asking price. that's not a bad deal at all.

If it works out I can take a look at it for you. I finally got the OK to drive
Thanks man that would be awesome. Especially if anything just to have a 2nd set of eyes, not only to notice little things that I might miss being excited about it; but also being as knowledgeable as you are.
Im 110% serious about being serious about buying it. Im just waiting for a reply from him and my taxes to come in this week to give me some breathing room to pick it up.
