Is it possible to turn the front brake rotors on my 2001 F350?

If it was single rear wheel or a 4X4 it would have normal rotors, but this is 2WD dually where the front rotor and hub is all one piece. Huge and heavy. Pic of the type below. I will soon need to do the brakes on my truck. Still all factory original brake parts. It has a very slight brake pulsation (warped rotor) that I can only feel from about 20-40 mph. I think this little bit of vibration would go away with a light cut. I've just never had rotors this big turned before and didn't know if it's possible or if the normal parts store brake lathes can handle them.

You can have them turned. Might need to find the right place though. have you checked the slide pins yet? They might be dry and need to be lubed..
