Maybe someone has some pics they could post??? I would really like some opinions and maybe pics before I try this??
    I recently started a vortex bedliner business and I am fully portable for now... So I am hauling a new black haulmark 14 x 7 enclosed around everywhere and I thought it would be cool to make my truck a dually?????
    Let me know what you guys think?

    I have seen it before. If this is the same company I am thinking of they are OBS shortbed dually fenders they just bolt onto a NBS fleetside bed.

    If you're thinking about doing it with the truck in your sig, use a quadrasteer bed and just put wider wheels and tires out back instead of doing a full dually. I don't think it'll look right if you went full dually.

    It would look hideously ugly IMO if you bolted on OBS dually flares on your NBS. And the NBS duallies you have to replace the whole bedsides, which would mean you would need a dually bed.

    Its not OBS dually flaires... they are NBS dually flares.. they are copies off of the new dually beds except for they just bolt on. I was planning on doing that and then changing to 22" semi wheels with lowpro tires.

    Some people like the look of a dually some don't. I love em all, even the square 73-87 ones. Of course I'm a lil biased since my truck is a dually. But I say go for it.

    looks intersting, But I like the quadra steer idea some deep rims would look sweet like that.

    i think it would look totally freakin kool, especially with the 22semi wheels. but remember, a bigger rig will handle that trailer better and be safer. too small and i think ittle really toss you around the highway
