My newest daily driver.

I know I am not on this side of the board till now. I went out and bought a 85 Chevy one ton dually 454, 400 turbo, posi rear. I usually post on the 67 to 72 board. I also have a 69 Chevy stepper.
I gave 800.00 for the dually.

Re: My newest daily driver.

Seems to be a pretty decent deal.
How does it run?

Re: My newest daily driver.

That does seem like a pretty good deal if it runs and drives good. What are your plans for it, or is it just for DD duties?

Re: My newest daily driver.

I like it. It does appear to have a substantial amount of rust on the exterior. How does the frame and underbody look? Still seems like a good deal for a working, running and driveable truck.

Yeah and it looks like you took out a mailbox and a bronze woman too.

Looks like a good deal, does it run pretty good?

Under it looks good. Its just the rockers. the bed is perfect. the inner front fenders are as usual...got rust. I fell in love with the old girl the minute it pulled in the driveway. It wasnt leaving.

Those were decorations in the back yard. I did scrape the mirrors on the house. It runs perfect. I cant find anything wrong with it.

Re: My newest daily driver.

I always liked the standard cab dually, they look so aggressive grrrr. Have fun with the rockers, just finished mine, they aren't too hard. That appears to be a diesel dash bezel?
