Major difference from the old work truck. It really looks great.

48cj2a · 10-05-2010, 04:05 PM

Looks Awesome!

What did you use for a rear bumper and was there any issues mounting it? I like yours over the typical step bumper.

silvereagle07 · 10-05-2010, 04:30 PM

Looks great. I'm really diggin the two tone.

justpball · 10-05-2010, 05:46 PM

SBTork · 10-05-2010, 10:04 PM

I really like the color combo and the smoked lights, good work!

its just a blazer bumper, I still need to find some inner brackets but it mounts up with existing holes. I'm going to tuck it in an inch or so when I get some time

**lolife99** · 10-06-2010, 10:33 AM

Do those front tires rub the inner fenders any?

68Timber · 10-06-2010, 11:41 AM

Very tastefully done, that's a dang good looking truck.

That is BADASS! I love the color combo! very nice.

dropd80s · 10-06-2010, 01:10 PM

I know a lot of people do, but I just dont like a DRW CCSB. Short beds for single wheels and long beds for dual wheels.

They do just a bit at full lock like a quick u-turn or turned and a big bump.

I agree, that photoshop looks cool but not really my taste. I MAY bag it though, nothing crazy just an AOL rear and low enough in front to match the back.

SCOTI · 10-06-2010, 09:54 PM

I love the shorty version! What size tires on front?

225-75-16 all the way around

77 350 Shorty Wide · 10-07-2010, 12:33 PM

Some more customizing options...

Lowered a little, limo tinted windows, suicide rear door and custom bumpers, shaved mirrors, drip rails, one piece door glass & tonneau cover.

God Bless, Terry {;~)

looks good Terry, thank. Since you seem to be in a photshopping mood would you mind giving me an idea what it would look like bagged, not laying frame maybe about 4" lower? Let me know if I need to take a better profile picture. Thanks in advance

Matt Man · 10-07-2010, 09:22 PM

how do you not rub with those tires? i have 235/75/16 on mine and im about 3-4 inches from the top if i went the same setup i would be 1 inch away from them....

Nothing about these trucks seems to be the same. I think I have the only 1/2 ton that wont lay control arms with bags/cupsf too. I might end up pulling the inners though, I think if I had some passengers it would rub more and I hate the way it sounds. I heard porterbuilt will be building some inners in the next year anyway.

lkefthrlkeson · 10-08-2010, 12:01 PM

Wow... That looks good man. Your truck is making me change my mind about getting huge 22.5 wheels. The simulators look nice with the lowering kit. I'm still in the planning stages but your truck may have just saved me $4000. Thanks

I recently checked out the duallyscene web site & noticed a bunch of guys swapping the 22~24's. They look decent on some trucks, not so much on the majority though. I'd stick w/16 ~ 17's for a blue-collar build.

That's what I'm thinking. I still want to use it for work and don't want to have to worry about damaging my $4000 wheels.

Truck looks sweet man! You have an eye for what works well on these squares.

Yeah I was seriously debating ordering some 22"s for this truck but that just seem like a lot of $$ for wheels/tires. Also, I"ve built this truck VERY VERY cheap so far and I'd like to see if I can finish it for the target budget I set. This way if the wife drives it to work I wont completely lose it when she curbs the rear wheels
