Re: New truck!!!
I can't wait to see it in person. Looks much better than I even anticipated. Wow. If I had the stomach for another dually (which I surely don't) I would be all over that bed and the rear axle when it comes out. That is a solid deal. I mean heck; where else can you find old parts like that in that kind of shape!!

Re: New truck!!!
I would say you don't even know, but you do. I can't wait to get this sucker shorter and lower. If the squirrels would stay away for a little bit, I could get some time to play with it!

Re: New truck!!!
Why do I feel this is an inside joke I don't want to hear.
Nice truck Jon. I hate to say it, but I'm kinda thinking the same as the troops here. That thing would look good slammed rolling some 22" semi wheels.

I agree about the Cummins. I will be lucky just to get an overdrive in this one. I priced out a 4L80E and a controller. It looks like something else will have to occur.

Re: New truck!!!
I didn't realize you purchased a dually.... I was thinking you landed a clean CC single wheel 'plus size' truck & planned to do the short bed swap. You'll need to scratch some of the info from my PM since 3500's have different frame rails, spring hangers, & misc other dually related parts. Most stuff should still easily swap out though.....
Nice truck BTW.

Re: New truck!!!
Thanks for the heads up. Do I need to grab hangers from a 1/2 ton, too?

Re: New truck!!!
Cool. I will be glad to trade them for some lights, if you need them. Any ideas of anything else to look for going to 1/2 ton?

Eh, the OK tag isn't by choice. I will have it fixed soon enough.

Re: New truck!!!
You need both the front and rear leaf spring hangers. Does your truck have the shocks inboard of the frame rails? If so you will need to relocate the shock mounts on the 1/2 ton diff. You can re-use the upper arms on the front but I believe you need the upper balljoint for a half ton. Oh and you will probably have to use the half ton steering components.

Re: New truck!!!
It really does sound like a lot of work. I wonder if I would save a lot of heartache and just splice in the rear half of the SWB frame, since the frame will be getting cut anyhow. I actually walked around the truck this morning thinking about just doing a flip kit and leaving it 1 ton, but that would be too easy. I think I probably need some kind of slight aggrivation in my life, so if this is it, that can't be too bad.

Re: New truck!!!
Hey Jon,
Another option is to keep the dually hangers and just move the leaf spring perches on the half ton axle. I bought a pair of leaf perches from Atwoods for @$10. That would save time.... That would also give you more room to tuck some meaty tires in the back.

Re: New truck!!!
I say leave it a 1 ton and put the tranny you mentioned installing and put the 20's on it and be done.
