Re: building a dually the hard way, watcha think so far

Beautiful truck, but I'm kind of partial.











What lift are you running to fit the q78s? Your truck is almost exactly the route I am planning on going, except I will be swapping the 350 for a big block down the road.

You know it is the same truck, look at the blue seat belts. Sweet truck, other than color I am doing the same thing.

Nice truck!
I'm planning to change my srw K30 to a dually with the fleet side bed and 14blt C/C rear.
Tires get pretty pricey when you need 6!!

Re: building a dually the hard way, watcha think so far

I LOVED that old 82 front end on a big dually. It's nasty and ugly, but in a really good way. It just looks tough, to me. Either way, that's a really nice truck and if it were mine, I wouldn't change a thing about it. Nice ride!
