No stripes, no two tone...that all looks like ass. Being as a true ccsb dually isnt overly common...dont dick it up like an 18yr old redneck rolling coal with a big ole pinch of chaw in.

I agree With this.

Big Calo · Dec 27, 2012

Bringing this back up. CCSB dually is proving to be a leprechaun. Lol! But still looking.

Quick question what are y'all's experience with the 350 vs 450. Ride quality, towing, cost of maintenance, braking, insurance, ect.

Saw a white one on autotrader the other day. Factory shortbox. Think it was in Colorado.

That one in Colorado is a 2wd.

Here's the 4x4 I was thinking of. It's on ebay.

I was looking for a truck and ended up buying this! Thanks to the forum I found me a shortbed dually. Bought it yesterday with 90k on the clock for $22,600. Just couldn't pass it up.

Sent while hooked to something, somewhere, with my foot through the floor!

Nice! I need to get my old Dinos sold. Are those fenders standard size fenders, or are they shorter? I've been thinking about going with a 450 and shortening it. Since the trucks themselves are rare I imagine finding a clean bed would be hard as well. Could probably pick up a SRW short bed and put the fenders on.

RedRice589 · Dec 27, 2012

They're normal length ford has made short bed duallies for years fords parts are pretty universal!

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Dec 27, 2012

The drivers side fender is unique to the short bed. It has the fuel door in the dually fender. You could get a short bed and put dually fenders on it. You would just have to find a short bed drivers side dually fender, which I would say you will probably not find one except for new.

This one is 3 miles from me. Almost perfect condition...needs a rear bumper.

What was it listed for?

Wayne · Dec 28, 2012

Drivers side fender extension is different between long and short beds because of the fuel filler neck. Tadd converted the '11 he has back to srw, so that bed might be for sale if anybody is interested. It was originally off an '04.

holy fking pictures batman, there sure are alot.

Big Calo · Dec 28, 2012

Anything in particular to look for on these trucks, besides the normal? i.e.;smoke, noise, slack, rattles, degas...

What about build dates, or model years. Kinda like going from early 99, to 99.5 & up, to when they swapped to forged rods.

Wayne · Dec 28, 2012

Job 1 is plenty good (my truck's build date is 01/07) but there are a few benefits to the later versions, but nothing like early vs late 99's. External vs internal filter on the trans, and some of the radiators had problems. Most of those got fixed under warranty though. Just make sure the previous owner didn't abuse it too bad.
