454 nat asp. Starts just like the tbi 87 I had. It seems to idle high, but I think the cold thermostat is the cause the temp gauge won't run past 1/4 notch. Heat in cab is good. The truck originally came from Nevada, had all the work done in California. m thinking the stat is a 165. I'll get it sorted out.

Q-jet I presume? With an electric choke I wouldn't think a low engine temp would keep it on fast idle. Do the secondaries open once its warm?

Good question, I will check when I get a chance. It does kick down but not as much as I would expect.

I assume qjet, buy all I have done is synthetic oil change and block heaters, I haven't even had the air cleaner off. It had been in the -35 c range for weeks. -1 today. Feels tropical.

If it is a q-jet and you're into tinkering with that, pm me an email address. I have a great tech paper that's worth the read!

Are you running a standard rear wheel or is this like TW&T's Tow Nasty wheel?

Do you have a build thread on how to switch over to the SRW axle? I'd love to lower/bag my C30 but I'm not too sure about finding a wheel that fits.

comegetsome2003 · 01-01-2013, 09:05 AM

If you go back up and look at the pics i posted my truck actually started life as a SRW 1 ton....i have a build thread over on dually scene

Nice truck! I am usually not a big fan of the dual wheel look but yours is pretty sharp.

North60 · 01-02-2013, 04:28 PM

I am having a rough time finding some running boards for my 86 crew cab dually. Anyone have some suggestions?

im having a hell of a time finding a pushbar, looks like i will be building one!

North60 · 01-02-2013, 05:25 PM

You would think there are enough trucks still on the road to keep them from being obsolete.

Chevyrules · 01-07-2013, 05:38 PM

ha ha that should be in 73/87 projects and builds

Black 'n' Blue · 01-09-2013, 01:00 AM

Took the sides off, much better. Gonna figure out a system for easy removal so I can take them off in 5 minutes.

meatwagon83 · 01-09-2013, 08:05 PM

is that the explosive truck?
