I don't know who makes 'em but does anyone know if the large wing you see on some duallies work and who might make them?

If your talking about those stainless steel wings they are made by Wingmaster they are called Turbowings.They make them for all trucks you have to mount some "runners " on the roof and the wing bolts to them.

Do they help mileage much?

They claim 1-3 mpg and 30% less drag and I think for pickups the dont require drilling into the roof they have some kind of "clamp on" system .Its been a while since I sold one Im guessing about $500-600.

That seems to be what I was thinking of and have seen. I recall a track system mounted to the roof that allowed you to adjust it. I assume it would mount with wellnuts or nutserts. Thanks I'll try to find on line or locally. by the way 85 Chevy dually, 454, TH400, 4.10 gear, 28' trailer=

I used to know it, sold my 87' 454 4:10 Crew Cab last week. Frankly I was very surprised at the number of calls I got on it, over 3 per day.
