    Default Dually Suburban: Can you buy them like this?

    Hello,
    I was at the store today and I saw a mid 80's dually suburban. It was pulling away as I drove up so I didn't see it that well but I am positive that it was a dually suburban. I saw it clearly.

    Can any of you tell me if you could buy them from the factory back then? It was old and it looked like if they made it a dually themselves they did it a long time ago.

    Sorry I don't have a pic.

    There has never been a dually suburban made at least not from 1970 to present. There are a lot of kits out there that will allow you to convert your rig to dually. I think it's becoming a more popular mod these days on the older burbs.

    I'd actually like to see someone make a dually on the new body style burb.
