Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Gauges/bezel done. Speedo & tach both work. Something weird going on w/fuel gauge when using the pass side tank. Gotta research that one.....
Got the crossover duct installed for the drivers side a/c vent. Adjusted the toe. Much better. Progress..... |

Still finishing up on my side project w/my buddy & his boys. We're working on cleaning up the wiring now & hope to have this thing ready to fire up again soon (1st time in over a year).
Over the last year or so, it's had:
He's already aquired all the needed parts to swap in some era correct bucket seats & the SS console shifter so the interior is right around the corner too. His boy is soooooo ready to start pounding the streets! Hope to have my dually up soon for front end aligning & then off to get the bed Line-X'd. |
Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Good looking El Camino. He does look ready to go!
Hope to see the dually done soon... |
Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Any Dually progress?
|
Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Is waiting progress??
My side project is complete (the part I helped with anyway). My trailer will be empty & the elcamino parts occupying space in the shop are w/the camino or have been recycled/trashed. Now back to the dually. I did swap in new inner/outer tie-rod ends last night. They were the last items on the front suspension that had not been done & I wanted to have everything fresh before aligning. My buddy assures me that he will have time to align the front end (& check rear thrust) before this Friday. Hopefully this happens. Then I'll move forward on the bed + stereo completion next week & try putting some road miles on it to work the bugs out. I'll swing by your place hopefully during some of those miles (and a car wash... that thing is filthy) since I'll be on that side of town using the dually to bring home my 64's chassis. |
Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Does this mean you are going to need help swapping bodies on to that chassis for the '64 this year? Last time we talked about it you needed some help to get it done and you have that frame I could use when you get that swapped around...

I did pull the dually out last night after work to reset the toe. After moving forward & backing up a dozen or so times I have it close. I also yanked an 1/8" shim from all 4 spots for some slight neg camber @ my planned ride height (~27" @ front wheel well C/L). It still has something wrong mechanically. If it idles for extended periods (6-10 mins), you can hear slight backfiring in the exhaust. I noticed it before but thought when I heard it yesterday I would just drive it around my neighborhood & see if that helped clear it up. After the 3rd time around the circle (~7/10th of a mile), I put my foot into it aggressively & it does it then as well. I don't know what it could be @ this point & can't seem to find much TBI support/help locally. Frustrating. No alignment yesterday. No alignment today...... |

Installing the bed solo was a PITA but I got it done. The additional weight made a noteable difference in ride quality which was a relief.
So w/that accomplished, I scraped off the 3yr expired registration/inspection stickers, knocked off the heavy dust, plugged in all the lights & cruised up the street for it's maiden voyage beyond my neighborhood..... |
Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Any pics with it aired down?

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Cant wait to see them. Very clean work (like all your other work).
|
Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Thanks guys.
It was a good feeling buzzing up the road w/it back together. I went back to check off the last few items on my 'punchlist' yesterday & what a list! I hope to get it up today for inspection. If so, I'll be legal by noon tomorrow & will try to get the bed Line-X'd pending weather by the end of the week (supposed to rain this week after Tuesday). |
