Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
OE Blazer panel modified to work w/the truck gate. I've had it & the OE rear sport bumper stashed away since the late 90's for a 'future project'.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Wow looks great! If you don't mind me asking where did you get the center section of your grill? Mine has the big gmc logo in it and I hate it. Thanks

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Its from LMC. But, it's fully chromed so I had to un-bling it because I wanted a more subdued appearance.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
May I ask how you modified the insert to fit your tailgate? I'd like to do the same to mine.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide

My buddy told me to make sure I popped the full/old school caps off so the alignment rigs could be attached to the wheels. Once I had them off, the wheels while clean looked unfinished so I popped the 2nd set on just for the trip up the road. I rolled into the lot & my buddy just started laughing. He said he was going to give me some grief about my OCD & tell me not to be bringing the truck up there w/wheels naked. He didn't get the chance to call me before I showed up but got the chuckle anyway because I had swapped the newer caps on.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
I had the tall one on there previously. From experience, they become an issue when it comes to rolling a jack under the front end. I'm on the fence about getting a shorter one @ this point in time. I prob will.... but I'm not in a rush to get one.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
The short valance would be perfect.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Its the outer portion of the blazer w/the center structure carefully removed & replaced w/a center structure from a truck filler panel in its place.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Not sure what they originally came on specifically but I've seen them on duallys, wreckers, & motorhomes.

Are they the 88-98 dually centers?

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
The 'small' caps are 88-98 caps (the one's installed in the alignment pic).
The full caps (the laid out pics) are from earlier year models.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
I got the dually inspected on Tuesday & after sorting through legal issues (license plate), it's now registered again. I'll work on getting the front tubs re-installed tomorrow as well as finalize some safety related items on the rebuilt front suspension.
I love walking out into the shop each day & seeing the bed installed vs sitting on the cart ![]()

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Scoti, what LEDs did you use in your cluster? I have looked at several options, and I'm not confident that the ones I am looking at wont have a blue cast to them.

Re: My 89 CC Dually: Double Wide
Thank you sir.
Been driving it around town tonight. I have a systolic vibration that needs to be eliminated. I'm going to rotate the u-joints 90° & see if it helps. If not..... a double Cardan joint appears to be in my future. Also going to do more research on OD choices. 2200rpm @ ~50mph is not looking good for highway drives.....

My 87 had 4:10's in it and 215/85R16 tires. I had the rear end gears swapped out to 3:54's from DANA/SPICER & also installed a GEARVENDORS O/D unit in it. Final drive in O.D. is now equal to 2:77 rear end gears. mileage almost doubled on the highway. And I still have plenty of towing ability.
