Re: single cab dually

I'm hoping to just get it rolling again probaly do the bodywork on the fenders and primer them and find some alcoas for it. I originally bought the truck just to rip the engine out since it had a rebuilt 350 and stick it in my 50 but I just didn't have the heart to and it turned into another project but with a small budget.

Those are always the best. Alcoas will look great on the truck.

Re: single cab dually

The sectioning you did on the bed land frame looks great, doesn't blow the truck out of proportion like most do.

Re: single cab dually

Looks really good. Are you cleaning the area before you weld?

Re: single cab dually

I hit it with a wire brush and knock the surface rust off but since it's not covered the it rust by morning so i try not to spend too much energy doing it once it's all done I'll go over all of it and then just undercoat it
