Ford f 250 DRW

 Did ford stop making the f 250 dullie? If so what year. All I'm finding new or used is 350 and 450's.

Didn't know they ever made a factory F250 dually? There is conversion kits available but not factory.

Plenty of older f 250 dually out there. I own a 85.

Agree, first time I've ever heard of F250 with duals(factory).  I've seen conversions, friend had one, mid 80's with 6.9 in it.  It took std rims and had a spacer for the back tires.

Any photos? I have also never seen a Ford F series truck lighter than a F350, with factory installed dual rear wheels. Also, prior to 1980, the only way to get DRWs was with a cab & chassis configuration, like my old 74 F350 car hauler ramp truck was.

I have not seen a factory F-250 dually however when buying parts  at Advanced Auto Parts the parts catalog will ask if my 65 F-250 is a dual or single rear wheel.

My 85 F250 dually. 
Pardon the mid 90's paint skem lol.

Some other F250 dually.

I have seen them after all. Probably figured they were wrecked trucks with an F-250 fender. The Crew Cab makes sense if you consider the payload vs the curb weight. Could the single cab be a dealer option to get around registration, insurance or a certain legal class for some states?

That's totally awesome IMHO.

No F250 ever left Ford as a dually. Back in the 80's and 90's it was popular to convert them though. What is you vin? Maybe I can prove myself wrong.

[fekbmax]

mmmmK.
I guess all the guys I raced with back in the 80's must have bought brand new f250's, took them home that night and then drug a new 350 to the house and stripped the brand new bed off along with all the brand new front and rear suspension and converted them. I suppose the the F250 extended cab (Dually) my uncle got from the dealership brand new with 56 miles on it and still has by the way must infact be a figment of my imagination.. humm, what a dumb ass I am.  Possibly a factory conversion or dealer option..

I seem to remember working on several of them, at a small Diesel shop when I was younger. 85 or 86 model years. usually puke brown or tan. 2 wheel drive with a 6.9 and an automatic.  They would go about 400,000 miles, just none of them more than 53 miles per hour.

Very easy to stick dual wheels on a 3/4 ton axle. The key to these trucks is the 1 ton front axle. I do not know if the King Pins would allow you to swap 3/4 to 1 ton spindles or not but not very likely for a home grown cheap out to be taken that far. That is where the above quoted WHY comes in.
