Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
[quote=Tx Firefighter;6627869]What are you talking bout, firefighters make bank! Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the computer....I have followed this build, and I think we are like minded, I do things myself if possible, I don't use credit, and I buy the best parts I can afford..looking forward to your 4x4 build.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Awesome thread, I have read the whole thing through once, and gone back to see different parts a few times, like now, ha. I have a question for you about the 14 bolt. I have one that i am going to put under my 66 C20 (you answered my question about the noob with a torch thread). Got the perches cut off and started looking at the brakes and figuring out what need to be replaced. Stuff all looks new, but one drum is beyond help due to a PO runnning the shoes until there was nothing there and they have 2 DEEP gouges.
Anyway, the question is, do you have to use a press to get the studs out and then back in? Or can they be hammered in somehow? Gonna get new drums locally, Rock Auto can beat the price until you throw in the shipping on those monsters. While I am in there, just gonna replace almost everything, it is really cheap and easy while it's on jackstands in the garage. Also, saw the Speedisleeve thing you used on page 14 of this thread and one side needs that as well. |

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Earl, I can't give you a straight answer on whether you'll need to press the studs or not.
I did, but there were two factors in play in my case that likely won't be in your case. First, I had my lug studs replated. I'm sure that added somewhat to their outside dimension. Second, when I powdercoated the hubs, I purposely let the powder overspray into the holes. I could have plugged the holes to keep the powder out, but I like to fog a little in there. That way if any of the holes were oversized a bit from past stud removal and replacement, the fit would be a bit tighter. In your case, drop the drum and hub together and start the studs into their holes. Then work at them with a drift and a significant hammer. Go round and round, here and there, don't try to do them one at a time. A little on this one then skip over and whack a little on that one. Worst case, you'll get them mostly into the holes and have to press them the last little bit to get them down all the way.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Hammer & punch weren't enough on mine w/o additional force. I wound up having to cinch them down w/the lug nuts & a spacer (w/a liberal coating of anti-seize).

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
I had to remove some nuisance trees around the property so I thought it might be fun to use a big block rather than a chainsaw and shovel. Sure enough, drop it in low and take it up to about 2k RPM, and when you hit the end of the chain....doik...tree comes up and out of the ground.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
I forgot to post this picture. The previous owner included a pair of side boards when I bought the truck. I don't often run them since they don't look that great to me, but they came in handy today for loads of smaller branches. They're good quality aluminum and steel all riveted together.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
I guess the truck was once blue.
Those alcoas still look great! Did you powdercoat them clear to keep them looking good? |

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Yep, unfortunately the truck has had a shabby repaint in the past. I do like white trucks so that pleases me, but blue interior and door jambs on a white truck isn't something I'm proud of.
I didn't do anything to the Alcoas other than the polishing that was covered some pages back. I haven't touched them since I installed them. Honestly, I don't mind them taking on a patina over time anyway.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Glad to see the truck getting some love (work) around your place. If the side boards are Aluminum, maybe you could polish them to match the Alcoas, its not like you don't have anything to do..

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Great pics. It seems like it is time to trim trees and use the trucks. I like seeing trucks being used for work.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Y'all can shut the book on this build.
I got my 4 wheel drive squared up and on the road so I sold the dually today. It's going to a new home where it will pull tractors and other heavy stuff. ![]() Actually, I sold it to my buddy who is a hard core car guy. He's going to body swap an early 50's cab and clip onto it. And pull tractors....

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
I tried my level best to build an honest truck. Everything I worked on I did 100%. Now its up to him to build the parts I didn't get to, namely cosmetics and such.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
He's not too much of a computer guy as far as I know.
I will say, this is the last truck he built. This was back before everyone was building CCSB trucks too. ![]() He also owns a 72 Super Cheyenne that he bought from me years ago. I built the truck and he has driven, enjoyed, and tweaked it in the last 15 years since he got it from me. I try not to look at it when I'm at his house because it's one of them that I maybe shouldn't have sold. ![]()

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
What color would you say those rallys are coated in? I mean what would I ask for if I was having it done?
