A lot of older duallys (and maybe some current ones?) didn't come with a
spare tire.  The idea is you take off one of the outer duals on the back and
use it up front if one of the front tires goes flat on you.

You might be able to fit duals under the dodge bed, Mac's B122 is a non
dually bed and he runs duals on the bac.   (Mac, this is me forcing you to
feel obligated to chime in here).

Don't let yourself get too frustrated!  When you get it finished it'll all
seem worth it.
