86 CrewCab Dually Build..."BADFIT"

[BADFIT86]

Hi All,

For your perusing pleasure is my build of "BADFIT".

I bought this truck from a Gentleman in Luisiana on 8/23/2013. He bought it from a guy who bought it from the original builder...

This is where it all started in October 2008. Some of you might recognize the truck. I spoke with the Gentleman who built it and he said the project was at $30k when he sold it. I cannot tell you too much about the current build other then what I have read on DuallyScene. What I can tell you is that I have fairly big plans for the truck. I hope to be at the Brothers Truck car show in Anaheim next June (2014). So since this is the first post, and I just stated my goal...you can watch my progress. Wish me luck.

I drove the truck a bit today and it was.......................fairly wretched. It is obscenely loud, it shakes, the right front tire leaks and Discount Tire won't touch it, no AC, interior is ugly, switches don't all work, driver door barley closes, the engine compartment has stuff routed every which way, and the exhaust is noxious. So I have my work cut out for me.

The good news...the truck looks cool.

I will keep you updated on the regular as I get the work completed. The first stop is the stereo shop, Audio 2000 in Tucson. We are kicking it off with a new alarm, one piece windows, and sound deadening. It will post up the products and prices too.

First up:

Truck $11,000
Shipping $1,200
Custom plate $54
Registration $35.25

Total: $12,289.25

Ps. I hand washed it myself. Other than that, I will be using various professionals to complete the build. John.
