Need more info. eg. Is it a I-beam front? Here is some ideas for thought. If you have a independant front as in a Chevy, you can change the spindels and discs from a duellie front. For the rears you can buy adapter plates for the duellie wheels ( generally from the swapmeets) then again it depends where you are from. Actually I could go on and on. Lets just see what truck you are talking about

You can upgrade the axles on the I-beam to the bud axles to suit the duellie wheels. I had them on my 57. My rear end was already a 1 ton.You can use adapter plates on the rear.Not sure whether you can just change axles in the rear along with the drums and use the same housing. I would expect not. I have a 89/99 Chevy duellie bed for sale with gate $500

i guess i wasnt clear the first time of what i was wanting to do. i have a 1959 chevy apache fleetside. i subframed it years ago with a camaro front in. i am wanting to take and put the dodge dully bed on it and i think i am going to use some real wide single tires instead of a dully tire setup. then i would like to fuse the bed to the cab. Any ideas or pictures. My Email is SpncT1c3bb.com Thanks plumber4

Actually I've got a little mixed up who was asking the question, LEEIS was the one asking about the bud axles. Sorry I don't have any contacts for a Dodge bed. But I too have a Camero front on my 58. Sounds like you project will be real interesting. I like the fat wheel duellie look.
