original plans was for body drop to the pinch, 19's and a rear setup so i could tow...

and final product will be...
body drop to the rocker
bagged obviously
24" semi wheels

then paint by Izzy at Picaso(Ft. Worth Tx)

then interior at House of Hot Rods(Mansfield TX)

I remember seeing this rig on the FSC forum a few years back of when the PO bought it. Apparently his big plans to fix it up never panned out. Good luck with the build.

dammitmitchell · 01-18-2009, 07:58 PM

yes we do it big n texas.. you should know this..

yeah the first owner who was supposed to do it for his wife went to prison
then my friend bought it from him
then it was sold to another friend who took the motor/trans
and then i bought the rolling chassis for 400 bux

i got a small list of things that i have to buy so that progress can continue on it
body bushings
motor
re8 slam specialties bags
drop spindles

looks good, cant wait to see this one

silvereagle07 · 01-19-2009, 11:49 AM

Looks like good progress. I love seeing these duallies slammed. Makes me wish I still had mine.

Conundrum · 01-19-2009, 04:56 PM

I think duallies layed out on semi wheels look awesome!

Izzy · 01-19-2009, 06:02 PM

Nice, Joe has more room in that new shop.

Tx Firefighter · 01-19-2009, 06:39 PM

That truck has been sitting near the curb about 1 block from my sister's house in Lake Worth for seems like forever.

TylerHuff · 01-20-2009, 12:57 AM

sooo.... wheres the updates. these same pictures have been on dually scene forever ive been waiting for some updates

seanconnery · 01-20-2009, 10:23 AM

Looks like it will be a real neck-breaker. I think just to be even more badass, you should do a candy pink paint scheme!

Str8Ugly · 01-20-2009, 12:51 PM

oh it will be repainted and it will be a hot pink and silver 2 tone

i been trying to find a decent motor and trans for he thing.. i don't wanna throw a junk motor in it..

Str8Ugly · 02-24-2009, 07:57 PM

so jot has my motor and trans for it(350/th350) motor mounts have been bought and body bushings have been bought also.. so hopefully i can get updates on this thing some more

andrewmp6 · 02-25-2009, 07:25 AM

On the semi wheels the back you will have to widen the flares or run a super single.i think http://www.duallyfendersusa.com/ has wider flares.

Str8Ugly · 02-25-2009, 12:38 PM

lol no thanks on them fenders they are horrible.. all they do is add a fender flare to the outside of the fenders lip... my rear end will be the same as a cab & chassis rear.. and the tires on them i can tuck both m 24's under the srw bed

smashingchuck · 09-15-2009, 10:36 AM

Updates?

dv8customs · 09-15-2009, 11:18 AM

I live like 15 minutes away and never heard of this thing? No updates since Feb, is this project dead?

Driveway Dreams · 09-15-2009, 11:21 AM

I hope its not dead. It looked like it was going to be a cool build. The OP is online. Maybe we can get an update.

Str8Ugly · 09-15-2009, 11:52 AM

no the ting isn't dead just hacked to ****.... i figured that since i was working so much i would take it to a place and have them build it in a reasonable amount of time... well turns into a year or deal and i start harping on the shop owner he just throws the back half together.. needless to say ill be redoing the back half of the truck starting this weekend once it dries up from all this rain.. trucks not dead just been on another persons time.. now its on mine.. cab will be pulled off this week some time along with the 2x4x1/4" tube to redo the backhalf...

can you say not centered

ill be using maybe the lower link bars if they are even the same length.... everything else with be scrapped or used as other parts if i can find anything actually useable

it looks as if a 5 year old welded on it.... i can lay jb weld down better than what he did

camaro__thunder · 09-15-2009, 11:59 AM

The shop that was building it didnt do it the way he wanted.
He picked the truck up and will be redoing it himself. They messed up quite a few things frame and bedwise. Its a shame.

*** wow I was checking up on dfwminis when you were doing the above.***

STOCKISH · 09-15-2009, 12:05 PM

If you can pay a shop to do it, I'd love to see what Hills Hotrods could do with it. Looks like a killer project. Sorry to hear the shop it was at hacked it up so bad.

dv8customs · 09-15-2009, 12:11 PM

You scrapping the entire back half? From the pics it looks like much of it could be saved.

Str8Ugly · 09-15-2009, 12:25 PM

entire back will be scraped once i get my new back half measured off this one... dv8 where do you live at?

yes most of the stuff is on dfwminis... and i can't thank the great friends i have met off there enough for helping me load it up in the pouring ass rain... true friends

dv8customs · 09-15-2009, 12:44 PM
