1995 F250 Dually???

[threejacks]

This comment was made in the description of this truck. Does anyone know if it is accurate?


THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE TRUCK , NOT ONLY THE COLOR BUT ALSO IT IS A F250 WITH DUAL REAR WHEELS . I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESERCH AND IN 1995 IT WAS A OPTION TO GET DUAL REAR WHEELS ON A F250 . MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WAS THE ONLY YEAR YOU COULD GET THAT.

I'm definitlely no expert, but I dont think any 3/4 ton came w/ such an option.

If thats a 250, then its most likely a conversion, w/ a dually bed/fenders.

Cant wait to see if anyone else has a different oppinion -popcorn

A coworker of mine has a '92 doolie with a TTB in front and no badges but I think he bought someones pieced together leftovers.He wasn't very happy when I told him what used to be up front.

I had a friend of mine tell me that they use to make F-250 duallys, but stopped in the early/mid 90's.

You know how that is though. I heard from my brother who heard from a friend that his cousin's best friend.......

Here is the real question though.

What is the point of a F-250 dually? Thought the main reason was because of the wieght. Seems any thing a F-250 could handle the great engineering and quality of tires these days could take as well.

I know little, but isn't this the only reason for a dually. I mean those 2 extra tires are not cheap to replace.

I have never heard of a F250 dually not unless someone built it themselves. I don't see the point. The reason most people I know buy duallies is to have that extra stability when hauling heavy loads.

I don't know what it's like in the US but here in Ontario it can be a pain in the butt to own/use a dually for work purposes. log books, inspection sheets (when hauling), certified every year, validation stickers cost more, insurance costs more, have to go through weigh scales/inspection centres when hauling, and so on. Even my F350 SRW has to be cert every year, the stickers cost $31 more a year and it's used for personal transportation!

Check the document I attached to this post, it covers the 95 model year and is taken from the 1995 Ford Recreation Vechicle and Trailer Towing Guide. I see nothing about a dually available in the 3/4 ton chassis. That rig looks like a Centurian hack job to me.


on edit; the doc didnt convert to a word doc very nicley but....... if you take a look at it youll see the DRW was only offered in the F-350

WOW 95 haha

Yeah Centurian did some funny stuff with that one unfortunealty not attractive. Truck looks really beat up at least at the tailgate. Not surprising though as it was obviously a tower. Wierd hitch on that reciever in the back. Must be a pretty weak hitch and surprised it doesn't have a drop...must be a tall trailer.

says Centurion on the door. Looks like the owner forgot to put the tailgate down when he was hooking up to the 5er. I don't think its a bad looking truck(if you like purple) I like the gasser tail pipes

its gotta be a conversion as it has the "CENTURION"emblems on it.centurion did alot of dually conversions on F250s and F350s.unless of course somebody has done a VIN swap on it.
