Anyone ever make a DUALLY van ?
 
I'm looking to make a dually van for towing
I used to do them back in the 80's
Anyone ( by anyone I mean private party or company ) make a current version ?

Quigley does 4x4 and dually conversions. Alamo, maybe Coachcraft..

I guess what I really need is info from someone who has done one for themselves.
I prefer to not use adapters and go to a salvage yard and get a complete rear end.
But , i'd also like to hear from those that used the conversion kits

Just curious, what are you towing? With most of the trailer's weight being on its own axle(s), how much do you anticipate being on the van's rear axle that 2 tyres would be so overloaded you'd need 4?

Australia never got Econolines (or Chevy and Dodge vans) but we did get the UK version of the Chevy G, being the Bedford CF. We also got the Ford UK's van, being the Transit. The funny thing is that while neither was rated for load carrying anywhere near their US cousins, both came from the factory as singles and duallies. In both cases, the duallies looked better.

To make one would surely be just a case of finding a dually axle from an F-250. After that, all you'd need is a pair of fender flairs.
