Are the 14 bolt rear ends the same width for both duallys and single wheelers? If not, what are the differences? Thanks

No they are not the same width and the hub and brake design are slightly different. Just from memory I would think the SRW is about 6" narrower. I had a K3500 SRW and traded it for a diesel dually K3500. Now I am making the dually SRW. With standard wheels the DRW axle makes the wheel width slightly wider than the front. The srw model had the wheel width significantly narrower than the front.

I am going to use a single dually wheel on the back and add a 2.5" spacer that makes the width almost the same as the front.
