Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I will be happy to help whoever! The truck is an '89 dually with 42k total miles. It's been pretty much parked for 15 years only driven to keep the oil moving every few months! Do I need to completely sway beds or is the dually bed the same as the fleet side bed once I pull the flares off? I am ignorant to that... (I dunno/shrugs shoulders)

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

the bed sides are cut for tire clearance once you pull the dual fenders off youll see a big wheel wel opening the easiest fix is swap beds and then sell the dually bed as a whole

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

That is what I was planning on...so maybe 1tonchevy won't get the flares then??? :D

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Hey Dirt520.....How is your extra set of 3+3 emblmes? Want to sell a set?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Sorry 345HP my first truck didn't have them and the are the only emblems that i'm putting on, I'm going for a flat black trimless look top to bottom the only thing that wont end up flat black is the brown seats i'm forced to use which came out of a crew cab conversion truck,,, As far as the vin goes the new cab will show the old vin # I know its probably not legal but i'm not caring,, the same junk yard that sold me the cab was trying to sell me the frame for another 200 but when i saw it they had cut a foot of the corner, i guess it was easier to cut the steering box off instead of unbolting it... BASTARDS

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Everything I have heard is that any car/truck that goes in the cash for clunkers has to be crushed, shadetree scrapers dont listen tho, In Az the title belongs to the frame, i'm taking the shadetree way out and changing the vin number. Thanks I've always loved crew cabs, i've had many trucks but this is my fav even tho i've never had it running

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Set the seats in the new cab just to keep them covered they came out of a CC conversion truck nice but not gonna last long, i'm working on a full center console with a motorized pop up center which will hold my 2 AR-15's both shotguns and spots for 4 handguns,, pics will come soon

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Will do, sorry about all the in process pics

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I think it's awesome that you were able to rescue that cab from the crusher, but my understanding of the law was the vehicles were supposed to be destroyed. One local junkyard was going to sell me a rear bumper off one, and he said he wasn't even supposed to do that legally, they were supposed to be crushed intact. IDK, maybe he was wrong but he was in the business of dismantling cars, I dont think he would have let that much money slide through his hands if he didn't have to. His front lot was packed with cash for clunkers cars. I do know they were required to dump that stuff in the motors to kill them.
Just disgusting, all the good vehicles and good parts being destroyed because of some hare-brained scheme to jumpstart the economy by bailing out millionaire automakers. I remember reading that the cost to the taxpayer would be $23,000 per taxpayer. So if you bought a new sh**tbox you are paying $23,000 extra for it eventually, and those of us that didn't buy new are paying also.
Somewhere I saw a bumpersticker that said "I survived cash for clunkers". Think I need one for my truck.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I seen alot of sad stuff go through the program:

Vettes,a Maserati, 99 volvo,nice chevy trucks etc it's very very sad :(

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Oh don't even get me started...a local dealer clunkered an 86/87 K30 RC/SRW Silverado, fully optioned out 454/SM-465 with low miles...why? Because the owner couldn't get it to start consistently. They towed it near the dealer, got it running, drove it onto the lot. The dealership had to tow it off the lot. It was a pristine dryland truck with no rust, nothing wrong with it other than the owner. It even had the dealer emblems on it from a dealer that is long since gone from Eastern WA.

THANK YOU for saving something from that IDIOT'S incentive program.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Yea I got lucky with the cab, the frame tranny and transfer case are still there, the frame got cut right before the steering box, but the rest is up for grabs $650 and its mine, th400/np205/D70hd, just dont have the money to spend

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Ok I just watched Gearz and they talked about the Cash 4 Clunker program,, only the motor and trans aren't allowed to be sold everything else is up for grabs if the scrapyard it went to was willing to pull the parts,, something like 80% of all cars were crushed due to lake of room in junkyards,,, just stupid.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Got any Dually Simulators on that truck?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

This is my first dually, and i've heard of Dually Simulators alot but not exactly sure what they consist of,, What exactly are Dually Simulators?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Pretty much Dually hub caps.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Hey Peoples, It's been a while but i have some update pics for ya. I replaced the front end with a 3/4 ton DANA 44 but some air head switched the 8 lug hubs for 6 :sumo: . But now its packing 7 1/2 inches more of ride hight then when i bought it 454 turbo 400 tranny. I am currently in the process of putting a doubler np203/ DANA 20 tranfercase 4:56 gears. I think it will be just sick in 4 low and doubled down:metal: so let me know what you think and I love this site :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Ohh ok thanks, I kinda figured thats what people were talking about the "Simulators" in the name kinda threw me off tho,,, Sorry 345HP i'm using them on my truck

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Out with the old in with the new

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I thought this was supposed to be a thread for PICTURES of CREW CABS. Not a build thread.
Isn't there a seperate sub forum for that?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

88, is that the same truck? if so, God bless ya for raising it up off the ground and making it into a truck again!

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

"simulates" a chrome wheel. I believe this is where the name came from.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Sorry Burban i'm really not covering the build here that was the last pic of my truck I planned on putting on here,, i do have a build thread now, just new to the site

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Anybody know where to get that crewcab model kit?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Apparently it's "handmade" from another kit.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Its a custom done Rc starts life with a tamiya high lux kit, pick up two clod buster chevy bodys, little cuttin some glue thats what you end up with, the dually finders are a custom made piece shape a piece of wood and make a fiberglass mold, I'm building one myself

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Its just two models glued together

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

RC crew cab

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

Yes sir it is the same truck. And I'm having a blast, far from done though. I'm in the process of undercoating the whole body and there will be I 1 foot strip of massy ferg red downd the side. I hope it looks as good in person as it does in my head ! :metal:

I just had to say man I love that mismatched paint job. On a real truck it would irritate me until it was painted to match, but for that replica, it is just so perfectly authentic! Way cool.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

I saw the Fast and Furious truck this past week in Branson MO. Best part of the whole trip! It was sitting at a mechanic shop getting all the lights hooked up and gauges working to be street legal. You could buy it for 80k if you wanted. Just thought id share

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

That's cool!!
what engine and trans does it have in it?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 

wonder how they arrived at $80k? I mean it isn't the General Lee or the Batmobile. I don't get the singles on the back. Anything they gained with a second axle they lost by using those tires instead of duals. I have a friend with a reg cab GMC that he made into a 10 wheeler, looks way better than that.
Sorry, I just don't get that truck. And those have to be the most ineffective towing mirrors I've seen. Wasn't that truck supposed to be driven backwards?

Who here couldn't build a lot better truck with $80 grand?
