Macs' last ride
Well here is the build tread of my 74 crew cab dually that I'm building in memory of my dad. As long as I could remember, my dad always had a square body in the family. Last one he had was a cab and chassis with a 12' service bed, he wouldn't let me bring it to Wyoming from Washington, so I bought this one for the build.
As far as i can tell, this one started life on the Air Force base in Cheyenne, Wy. , then moved to Douglas,Wy. as a rescue rig some time in the 90's. After that, it headed to a really small town, Glendo, Wy., as their rescue rig up until '02. At that time it sat around collecting dust and wasting away. A buddy of mine bought it at auction for $500.00 and was going to scrap it out. Then he remembered that I was looking for one and gave me a call.Long story short, I bought it for what he paid. It sat in the my shop yard for a couple years as i was building my rock crawler. Finally had time to mess with it now, so here goes. Ended up changing intake and carb since the original carb was shot, added a bed from a old project the boss had laying around and started driving it as a DD. Here are a couple pictures really quick. First one is fresh out of the back yard and the other is what she looks like today. ![]() ![]() Will add more as time is available for but for now I don't have any complaints for a $500.00 truck and about $300.00 added to it at this point.
