Hey y'all , I'm new to this and not good at all with a computer so please bear with me. In researching info re: the earliest duallys' I ran across this site and what I have learned is that my Father was correct - he built the first one and still has it , although I intend to bring home with me some time this summerto begin restoration. It is a 1964 3/4 chevrolet with a 292 and 4 spd granny that we used to pull trailers with 5 ton machines in our harvesting business from McAllen, Texas to Alabama, N.Y. and back. He had to get wheels from a GMC 1-ton and have the centers turned out to go on the 3/4 rear as chevy didn't have any thing that would fit. He then had Valley welding in Mission put on fenders from a '55 dodge pickup on the sides to cover the extra width. I have photos of it in it's cuurent condition , although I am trying to talk him iinto finding some old photos of the early days. If I can get some one here to assist me I will post the photos also, so keep watch if you're interested. Thanks T.R. Schmigel

not hard to post pics, do you have them on your PC? if you do, look down, you should see a "go Advanced" tab, click that, look down again and see manage attachments, click browse to find where you pictures are, click the one you want and click "ok". keep doing that until you have the pictures you want and then click post. that should do it sir.

I have someone that will assist me, it's a matter of scheduling as they have to be scanned, etc. I am surprised that you were the only onethat responded. Thanks Terry

YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAA!!!!!!!! We made it! Here are the photos of the first dually pickup truck. Also maybe one of the first to pull a gooseneck - don't really know.( I'm proud of as we didn't know at the time what would evolve) Also I have some photos of a dually suburban taken in 1996 in Misson, Texas when I went back to visit. I assume it was an after market job, but looks good.. Harvester
