I have an 86' 6 wheel cab chassis, I am debating on putting a bed from an 85 dualie on it. How stupid is it going to look. 
Cab to axel measurment on long box VS cab chassie with 137" WB

tires are going to be about 3" further inset on each side then a real dually

Never thought of that thanks, now I'm wondering if its gonna work
you guys got things backwards.
you can mount a pickup bed onto a commercial chassis but you will have a 4" gap between the bed and the cab.
you can mount a commercial box on a pickup bed but the axle will be skewed forward. pickup truck CA is 56" commercial chassis CA is 60"

^^This. Measure the distance between the inner tires and compare it to the floor of the pick-up bed in between the wheel houses, you may have rub issues.

I have done this swap on a 88 F350 cab-n-chassis with no issues at all. And there is a 4" total difference between a c-n-c axle width verse a dually pick up axle

I appreciate the info all I'm looking to do is get a winter out of it and then put a utility body on in the spring. Ill throw a set of 3" stacks inbetween the bed and cab to take up the space. Thanks again

0-60....eventually
Gonna look something like this:
This is an 1995 gasser cab and box with original front clip 1984 F350 6.9L 4 speed cab/chassic truck, with original 84 interior.
Looks like alot of work done to be sold for only 900$ last month just because the pilot bearing went.

That doesnt look half bad, the bed I got lined up is a dualie bed so there will be some exxxxtra space, but a temporary solution until i get the utility box in working order.
