I actually saw your thread a while back and it led me to wanting a dually bed. Unfortunately I've come to realize that it's a very difficult project to do on a reasonable budget, at least for me. I really don't want to shorten the frame and I've only found 1 Longhorn bed in the past 5 months and it was 7hrs away and in pretty rough shape. Stepside fenders are also a rarity and I have a hard time justifying reman ones if I'm just gonna chop them down.

The bed situation is on the backburner right now, but I'm probably just going to build a custom flatbed to accommodate the air suspension since I'm too cheap/picky to do it otherwise.
