Pink Dually of Death
welp.. bought this beast from robin(swapmeet) and took it to joe at Outlaw Motorsports in Ft. Worth Texas....
original plans was for body drop to the pinch, 19's and a rear setup so i could tow... and final product will be... body drop to the rocker bagged obviously 24" semi wheels then paint by Izzy at Picaso(Ft. Worth Tx) then interior at House of Hot Rods(Mansfield TX) now for the pics.... some pics i stole of it off craigslist http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/r...8ugly/pdod.jpg http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/r...ugly/pdod2.jpg and at joes shop http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...y/DSC01076.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...y/DSC01075.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...y/PA070455.jpg |
Re: Pink Dually of Death
I remember seeing this rig on the FSC forum a few years back of when the PO bought it. Apparently his big plans to fix it up never panned out. Good luck with the build.

Re: Pink Dually of Death
looks good, cant wait to see this one :metal:
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Looks like good progress. I love seeing these duallies slammed. Makes me wish I still had mine.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
I think duallies layed out on semi wheels look awesome!
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Nice, Joe has more room in that new shop.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
That truck has been sitting near the curb about 1 block from my sister's house in Lake Worth for seems like forever.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
sooo.... wheres the updates. these same pictures have been on dually scene forever ive been waiting for some updates
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Looks like it will be a real neck-breaker. I think just to be even more badass, you should do a candy pink paint scheme!
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
oh it will be repainted and it will be a hot pink and silver 2 tone
i been trying to find a decent motor and trans for he thing.. i don't wanna throw a junk motor in it.. |
Re: Pink Dually of Death
so jot has my motor and trans for it(350/th350) motor mounts have been bought and body bushings have been bought also.. so hopefully i can get updates on this thing some more
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
On the semi wheels the back you will have to widen the flares or run a super single.i think http://www.duallyfendersusa.com/ has wider flares.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
lol no thanks on them fenders they are horrible.. all they do is add a fender flare to the outside of the fenders lip... my rear end will be the same as a cab & chassis rear.. and the tires on them i can tuck both m 24's under the srw bed
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Updates?
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
I live like 15 minutes away and never heard of this thing? No updates since Feb, is this project dead?
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
I hope its not dead. It looked like it was going to be a cool build. The OP is online. Maybe we can get an update.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
no the ting isn't dead just hacked to ****.... i figured that since i was working so much i would take it to a place and have them build it in a reasonable amount of time... well turns into a year or deal and i start harping on the shop owner he just throws the back half together.. needless to say ill be redoing the back half of the truck starting this weekend once it dries up from all this rain.. trucks not dead just been on another persons time.. now its on mine.. cab will be pulled off this week some time along with the 2x4x1/4" tube to redo the backhalf...
http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/_MG_1386.jpg http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/_MG_1389.jpg can you say not centered http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/r...y/_MG_1387.jpg ill be using maybe the lower link bars if they are even the same length.... everything else with be scrapped or used as other parts if i can find anything actually useable it looks as if a 5 year old welded on it.... i can lay jb weld down better than what he did |
Re: Pink Dually of Death
The shop that was building it didnt do it the way he wanted.
He picked the truck up and will be redoing it himself. They messed up quite a few things frame and bedwise. Its a shame. *** wow I was checking up on dfwminis when you were doing the above.*** |
Re: Pink Dually of Death
If you can pay a shop to do it, I'd love to see what Hills Hotrods could do with it. Looks like a killer project. Sorry to hear the shop it was at hacked it up so bad.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
You scrapping the entire back half? From the pics it looks like much of it could be saved.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
entire back will be scraped once i get my new back half measured off this one... dv8 where do you live at?
yes most of the stuff is on dfwminis... and i can't thank the great friends i have met off there enough for helping me load it up in the pouring ass rain... true friends |
Re: Pink Dually of Death
I'm in Beckville
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Ouch! It is people like that shop that make it hard for those of us who actually want to do nice work for people, hard to get rolling. Sorry to hear about your experience. Good luck with the re-do. How much of the work done will actually stay on the truck? Did they do the front right?

Re: Pink Dually of Death
That is what I call "justice". Good for you. I will be watching this to see your progress.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
dv8... do you know of anyplace local that sells 2x3 or 2x4 1/4" wall tubing? i know tyler steel does but thats a long haul to buy 48ft of it
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Texas Iron and Steel over in Longview does. I got my 2x4x 3/16 from there.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
woo man 114 for 2x3 and 116 for 2x4... and not open on a saturday looks like ill be asking off early friday.. only stay open till 3
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Unless you are planning to tow a gooseneck you could get by just fine by using the 2x4x3/16. Save a little cash too.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
whats a dually without a gooseneck hitch? oh course its gonna have a goose neck hitch... gotta be able to tow my tractor and hay around
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Will be watching this one...
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
want to see this
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
I'm hoping my boss will let me off early Friday so I can go and get my 48' of 2x4 box tubing.... I'll be ditching the front clip and building my own for a full frame instead of a 3/4 frame I'll also be doing a few more unseen dually things pretty sure I won't have it done by turkey drag in Tyler Texas as planned but it'll be different let's put it that way
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
When you redo the frame I would not have all the pie cuts to make the frame round. That is too many weld seams to crack in my opinion. I think you would be better off cutting the notch from plate steel then boxing it in. It always sucks having to redo work and its worse when it is someone elses.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Good luck with the new frame, I plan to take mine to Turkey Drag but I doubt it will be done.
|
Re: Pink Dually of Death
Nothing will be pie cut on this new frame I'm thinking I'm gonna convert it over to a rhd should be interesting
