Never seen a shortbed dually stepside. interesting!

watahyahknow · 02-07-2010, 08:03 PM

so wat did you use for a rearaxle ?
a stock dually rearaxle a breadtruck axle (little narrower) or did you mounted truckwheels on a single wheel 3/4 ton axle
if its a C2500 frontsuspension youre using you can put the diskbrake/hubcombo from a dually on the front spindles then you can mount trucktires on the front as whell

its the stock rear end with the dually conversion kit. it still stands up to pulling a 5th wheel no problem. the truck was originally 6cyl 3 on the tree and was switch to the 350 4spd

also may end up converting the front to 1ton suspension down the road. my dad has a few projects already such as a 1936 ford, 65 ford, 78 jeep cj5, and 1940's willys flat fender jeep so will probably be years lol

i have seen spacers that convert 6 lug to 8 lug and out a bit for the truckwheels but to convert it to 1 ton and truckwheel you only need the bottom (i believe it was) a arm it has a bigger balljoint for the spindle that will hook up to the 1 ton or 3/4 ton spindle
the diskbrake and hub on a 3/4 or a single wheel is two piece the truckstyle is one piece it will take the wheelbearings of any 1 or 3/4 spindle (at least if you get the general production year right they did changed to metric somewhere in there ) , not sure if the springs are heavier , the antirollbar is though
3/4 stuff from a van is the same and might be eazier to find
chucks chevy pages has some of info on
ive allso seen one where they used steel militairy hummer wheels in the front wish looked good as whell and doesnt need the truck style disk/hub setup

Looks like a cab and chassis rear diff??

squareshane33 · 02-07-2010, 09:06 PM

smurf, wow I love the flat black and the wheels. I have to know what tire wheel combo you are running? Looks like 22' in rear and 20's in front? Coys? What tires are you running I'm doing research for my build.

watahyahknow · 02-13-2010, 08:29 PM

camshaftgsxr · 02-13-2010, 08:40 PM

and ya know what.. i forgot to put on the headlight trim.. (recently painted black, whoo)

86swb · 02-13-2010, 09:21 PM

Hey camshaftgsxt, what year truck is that? Also, you have a lot of loose wires on the firewall. What do they go to? Do you have another fuse panel there? Just wondering.

camshaftgsxr · 02-13-2010, 09:28 PM

its an '84 and as for the wires.. they part of a brand spankin new painless(paininthebutt) wiring harness, we kept them all so i wouldn't wish i had em later and i haven't cleaned them up with the zippy ties yet

no time

camshaftgsxr · 02-13-2010, 10:39 PM

what wheels are those?

MWood · 02-13-2010, 10:49 PM

Probably off of a 94-98 mustang, and I HATE them. Next time im home I will be gettin' some stocker's.

camshaftgsxr · 02-13-2010, 10:51 PM

haha thats cool i just couldn't see em
are those stock mirrors?

3r!c84 · 02-13-2010, 10:53 PM

how much is she lowerd?

MWood · 02-13-2010, 11:30 PM

Stock mirrors IDK

The frame is sittin' on the axle with SUA, and the front probably has cut springs. The guy I bought it from bought it from the 1st owner who started lowering it and never finished. It will go into surgery later this year or next year. Gotta finish the S-10 first though.
