Project - Winter Beater - 85 K3500 dually

[Rideagainstthemachin]

Hey everyone i'm finally starting a build thread. I just want to say thanks to everyone here for all the great threads and info!

Ill start off with a picture of the day I brought it home


My original plans were to fix it up gradually and use it mostly as a winter/firewood truck. It has a 350 SM465 NP205





Air compressor - rotten rotors - dicked fuel tank


So I drove it like that for the summer and loved it. So I decided to fix it up pretty decent this winter. Unfortunately it was so cold this winter I didnt get as much done as I had hoped. Shes was in pretty tough shape. You boys down south dont know how easy you have it!!!!!


Parts truck I got a sweet deal on. Rear axle was broken. It had a lot of good body parts and misc parts I needed. Original plan was to use this box and put the dually Fenders on it.


Pure madness everything is rusted/sized/gone. Haha I was reading through Txfirefighters lemons to lemonade thread (beautiful truck, and amazing work you do!) and he posted that trucks should not leak/drip. I had a good laugh while tearing this thing down. The only places where this thing was half decent still was wherever there was leaks!





There was nothing left of the old box. it was held together by some fiberglass


Thats it for now. Will post pictures of hows its going soon
