Hello all, I'm thinking of purchasing a 54 3600 dually that has a flat bed on it. If i put single tires on back would a standard 54 bed bolt right on without much trouble?

I didn't know they made 3/4 tons with a dually rear. Are you sure it's not a 1 ton? If's it's a 3600 you can swap out the duallys.

I am thinking Yes, but it would have to be a "standard 3600" pick-up bed that is 90" long.

3100 bed is 78" & 3800 bed is 108"...

The 3600 dually is 3608 & 3609 with dual 16" tires

Wheelbase: 3100=116" 3600=125" 3800=137"

I'm sure some of the other guy's will have more, soon

Good Luck!

If that is true then you will be able to junk the dually and replace it with a standard rear of some variety. Of course you could just pull off a tire from each side.
