Converting a DRW to a SRW

[busdriver75]

anybody done this before? anybody know what all is required for the swap? i'm starting to look for different trucks and i'm finding a lot more NBS dually vehicles in my price range than SRWs.

any info is appreciated.

I would think it's just a Bed and Wheel Change.

In the Front I think you may need New Rotors as well, or maybe the 3500 Spacer just Unbolts.

why ditch the extra wheel? and james why would you need diff front rotors?

Well I didn't know if the Spacer on the 3500 Dually could Unbolt from the Rotor, or if it was all 1 Piece.

Yep. Last I knew, this is what a 3500 DRW Front Rotor Looks like. So it is all 1 Piece, so you'll need new Rotors from a 2500 or 3500 SRW.

good work on the info boys. someone somewhere else mentioned spacers for the rear axle to bring the wheels out where they're supposed to be on a SRW 3500.

i just don't enjoy dually trucks. however, i do really like my CCLB set up, and they are hard to come by in the NBS.

interesting....my dealer had 3 of them on the lot to choose from when I bought my cclb 3500 srw....you could just buy a 2500 and I'll sell ya the leaf spring pack that came out of my truck..

it makes no difference to me whether it is a 2500 or a 3500. i'm getting along towing anything i want with my 2500 now. i'm just looking for the most economical way to get into a NBS truck when its time to send the LB7 down the road.

don't forget the difference in rims.
