How about a 52 Chevy Dually 4x4 Welding rig?

[MrBeast]

I've been thinking about starting another project when I get up to Montana this summer.

I found this puppy for sale on craigslist.



I have been looking around, finding lots of parts, been thinking about what I could put together with it. What I am envisioning is a fuel injected big block, NV4500 with a 205 or dana 300 and a Dana 44 and a Dana 60 up front and a P30 14 bolt out back.

I was thinking some twinkie truck 19.5's

and one of these puppies on the back on a custom made welding bed.





I have several options I am considering, one is taking a 88-98 1 ton dually that already has the 5 speed and 454 then sectioning the cab from the 52 over the floor and firewall from the 88-98

Another is simply just moving everything over to the 52 and building new spring hangars and what not to make everything fit.

I had also thought about seeing what it would take to make a 12 valve Cummins fit, These old trucks I know the hoods are fairly long, it might squeeze in. I don't know anyone who has done it so far.

Right now this is all just food for thought, it would be a neat build if I built it.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of looking at it.
