In the past 30 years about 90% of Fords are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.

yeah, i think if a newer style dually with more curvy edges would fit would look better. I know the burbs are boxy already, but.. this really sticks out here.. If anyone has seen or has a newer style..or seen pics of a burb with newer one on it I would LOVE to see it.

Of all the dually Burb pics I've seen, the best ones use a C&C axle... that puts all the tires under the truck without any fender flares. Its more work for sure though.

the one that JSE mentioned looks like complete and total sh*t
i like u2's mention of the c&c axles and may look into this myself.. i figure my 3/4 R2500 should handle this no problem.

that doesn't look too bad... a bit rough though and I would rather see both tires under the body... still decent...

oh ya i found a regular 86 or so 4x4 burb available for sale locally!! not sure how much just saw it at a small lot locally.

for some reason it looks like the rear axle is a bit to far forward... as if they didnt move it back properly....
I would think that just a direct swap of axles, especially with my R2500 should convert nicely... not sure if i would want the flares or not... probably not...
