1991 Bodied Cummins dually on 22s

[comegetsome2003]

hey guy ive had a build thread going over on Duallyscene.com for a few years on this truck(well actually 2 trucks and a suburban). there isn't alot of traffic over that way so i decided to start a build thread here....as we all know the story is the best part of teh truck builds so ill start where i can..

my Senior year in high school my dad bought me a 2003 GMC sierra to drive when my 1981 longbed f150 decided to give up the ghost(16 year old drivers have a heavy right foot). over the next several years i built it into a sweet show truck when money allowed....this is when i really got into custom trucks and start enjoying car shows....here it is


about 2 months after i painted it green i was rear ended on the way home from a show...in the next few months i made a few bad decision that ended with me trading off the truck....which left me with no truck and a pocket full of cash....this was about the time that TowNasty was all over the scene down this way....i loved the truck and wanted to buy it but it was in Ohio by the time that i come up with any money...so i decided to build my own....started searching the web, craigslist, mautofied, ebay....finally found what looked to be a clean dually about 3 hours south of me in Middleburg, Fl.
Drove down and bought the truck without much inspection. drove it home and seemed to be a good truck.....over th enext few months the plan was simple...i wanted it bodied on semi wheels....so few days after i bought the truck i drove to Myrtle Beach, SC and picked up 6 22s off craigslist...found some adaptors in Florida and had those shipped up...then commenced to start tearing it apart



while it was tore apart to have the frame built i decided to swap in an LS motor


what was suppose to be a few months build turned into a few years build...we had teh truck pretty close to back together when my little girl was born....at that point progress came to an almost complete stand still so i could enjoy the joys of parenthood...the truck sat untouched for about 6 months...i was getting real discouraged with it


after about 6 months i finally built exhaust for it and started doing bodywork on it....thats when i got really dishearted with it....truck was literally a rust bucket and had been bondo'd over real good and made to look solid.....rear door jams were eat through with rust and cab and bed were so thick it was ridiculous.

i got the cab seam shaved and cab corners ground down and re-body worked...the LS motor was carb'd and i decided to go back to fuel injection as i was never real happy with carb setup...pulled the motor out and painted it up real good and swapped back to FI


started bodywork on the bed to find it was covered in Body filler also so i bought a new bed
