Surburban Dually

I have always liked surburbans and I have always liked duallys but when I have seen people build surburban duallys, they dont always seem to look right because the fenders get in the way of the rear door(s). I was toying around with the idea of taking a suburban and streching it a little, and then making it a dually. Anyone seen anything like this done?

I have seen a couple. Most of them simply attached a dually rear and stepside fenders on to the quarterpanels.

I have thought about this before. I bet it would look awesome. I've seen a few square body dually burbs and I don't like the cut out dually fenders but doing it your way by stretching it would be cool! Get started, I can't wait to see it!

Re: Surburban Dually

I think it would look awesome too. I need to finish my current project before I do something like this.

I would think you would need a good body to start with and maybe find a back half off one of these guys building crew cab trucks to strech it. I cant imagine what the wheel base would end up being.

Re: Surburban Dually

Stretching the body still won't make the wheel placement look quite right. The suburbans have alot of rear overhang, you could probably move the rear axle instead. Here are pics of a stretched sub, a square body w- axle more centered and a take on a different kind of dually sub.
