W-250 to W-350 Dually Conversion?

Has anyone ever converted a 3/4 ton single rear wheel over to a 1 ton dual rear wheel truck? I am considering doing this to my '92 W-250. I want to put a flat bed on, so I won't have to worry about adding the dually fenders. I thought about buying a dually, but everyone wants a lot of money for them and they all seem to have high milage on them. I know what has been done to my truck and I don't feel like rebuilding another truck. I think all I have to do is change the rear axle and maybe restack the rear springs. If anyone has done this, I would sure like to hear about your experiences. Thanks for the help.
