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.

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!

Nice, Joe has more room in that new shop.

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!

Str8Ugly 01-20-2009 12:51 PM

Re: Pink Dually of Death
 
oh it will be repainted and it will be a hot pink and silver 2 tone

Str8Ugly 02-24-2009 07:57 PM

Re: Pink Dually of Death

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.

Str8Ugly 02-25-2009 12:38 PM

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
 
I live like 15 minutes away and never heard of this thing? No updates since Feb, is this project dead?

Driveway Dreams 09-15-2009 11:21 AM

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.

Str8Ugly 09-15-2009 11:52 AM

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...

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.***

STOCKISH 09-15-2009 12:05 PM

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.

dv8customs 09-15-2009 12:11 PM

Re: Pink Dually of Death
 
You scrapping the entire back half? From the pics it looks like much of it could be saved.

Str8Ugly 09-15-2009 12:25 PM

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
