Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
YJ...would you have any close up photos of your flatbed design? especially of the cross bracing, frame mounting, and goose hitch. would you be opposed to anyone coping your design a bit? im currently penciling a design that sits as low to the frame as possible and will accomidate a blazer tank underneath, wheel wells and a hide away goose hitch. just need ideas. thanks -steve

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
'67 C/30 with the rare NAPCO 4wd Conversion-Owned by a board member..Stock K/30s didn't exist in the '67-'72 era,but this one would be worthy enough for the K/30 title.
A '67-72' (Don't know how to I.D. the C/40-C/60s) GMC Converted to 4wd with NAPCO conversion.It looks to have a big block due to the vents in the hood.I'd love to own either,but really would like to have the GMC Last edited by 1969k10stepside; 11-18-2007 at 09:05 PM. |

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
Stupid question..how do you put dual rear wheels under what looks to be a stock 8' bed?
BTW I LOVE that Red GMC! Frank

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
That`s right.And,on that truck the wheelhouses were widened.The cab & chassis rear is narrow with under 4' between the tires.The rubber fender lips take care of the outside coverage.I wanted to buy that so bad.I would have traded both my 3/4ts for it.

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
I remember a few years back a member building a tiltbed/rollback 69-72 out of a motorhome chassis. Anyone else remember this? I never seen it completed. Would be a good one for this post.

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
Here's a few pics of my 1 ton dually, the rear in it is a 14 bolt SRW with DRW studs which makes it about 4" wider than a cab and chassis rear. I have a set of cab and chassis hubs that can be switched over in a matter of a few hours and tuck the tires in 2" more per side which I may end up doing if I go with 22.5 rims.
I have already converted this rear over to the big 13" drums which are massive!!, better than a rear disc setup for stopping power. Also included a pic of the widened wheel tubs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
I was wondering why I didn't see anymore on that build. I was really interested in it.

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
Yeah, there are several dually's that I have kept an eye on thru this board, but that one was new to me. I'm guessing I'll end up on that path someday as much as I enjoy seeing what others have done with them, and am looking for a good 5th wheel travel trailer/toy hauler. Guess I need to hang on to the step fenders I got for a while...

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
Here's my dually. I started taking it back apart and I hope to get it painted after Christmas. The last 2 are few photoshopped versions of what it will look like completed. I haven't completely decided which way to go yet!

Re: Kick a$$ flatbeds, or duallies?
Yep, Blazerman's dually is incredible, I drool heavily each time I see it. Course I do that when I see Joesjunk's sweet flatbed too. Maybe I have a problem
