Re: Converting a Ford Excursion to a Dually
That's Fly-n-Hi in Az. I recognize the shop. You're right about the fenders, they don't look as good as the Chevy conversions. I know the shop well though. If someone wants their phone number I'll get it for you.

Re: Converting a Ford Excursion to a Dually
itilldo, I drive a single wheel 1-ton 4x4 chevy. Why couldn't you look into keeping your single rear wheels, and just upgrade your wheels and tires.

check www.chromewheel.com
I have bought several fenders from Bernie. They fit well and he has some made for excursions. |

1- Would this even be feasible? 2- What would the cost be (approx)? 3- Can one take a 2005 Exc with a 6.0 PS install a Dually rear end and mod the body? Any and all comments are appreciated. |
It's not worth it. You'd wind up swapping the axles, wheels, tires, brakes, and springs and the best you could hope for with the pain of reapplying for a modified registration is to gain a couple thousand pounds of towing capacity, and even then the legality could be questioned in the event of an accident. You'd be better off getting a used 650 Excursion Conversion at a killer deal. There was one recently on here. I don't know if it sold.
