Will 3rd generation box fit 2nd generation

Canada eh? · 06-18-2009, 11:48 AM

Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but here goes.

I have a 2nd generation dodge 2500 (year 1997) that was converted to dually's before I bought it. Unfortunately it doesn't have a dually box on it. But, I have found a newer dually box. It is a 3rd generation (year 2006).

Does anyone know if it will fit on my 1997?

Thanks for any thoughts on this......

the 3rd gen wheel wells are 3 inches longer than ours. The rear axle sits too far up in my opinion. I think they look kind of funny. I also thought about doing this but I read into it a little bit and I think it would be too much of a headache to be worth it

agree on the trouble aspect of it also the wiring for rear lights is a messy thing on the dodges
they do not interchange between 05 and 06 they will most certainly be a mess interfacing with the older trucks
