Re: '77 3+3 C30 Dually - "The "Sled"
Thanks, Man, but I've lost interest in it. It's a lot of work and I've had a change in priorities recently.
I'm looking for a 4wd crew right now. I want to pick something up that doesn't require quite as much work. It was a tough call, but it was the right one. |

I understand. So, you got more pics of all your rides. What's the '86 hauler all about? Got some pics of it?

Re: '77 3+3 C30 Dually - "The "Sled"
Not really. I've been busy. The truck is sidelined w/ tranny issues. I'm spending a lot of my spare $$$ on my house lately.
I'm thinking I'll likely get back on it after the holidays. |

Re: '77 3+3 C30 Dually - "The "Sled"
I tell you what, it makes a great truck even better.
![]() After the first of the year once I get moved into my new shop I am going to cut the floor out of mine again and remove the front hump under the seat, im installing the floor out of a 98 crew cab so I can run the 60/40 split bench so the girl can sit in the center.

Re: '77 3+3 C30 Dually - "The "Sled"
J, Killer rigs man....I'm running the same amount of lift on my Burban. But I think my front springs are to soft (not necessarily a bad thing) and I don't think my shocks are up to controlling the bonce coming off overpasses and dips,bumps on the highway. What shocks are you running on yours? I going to upgrade to something better soon....I'm just fishing for ideas.

Re: '77 3+3 C30 Dually - "The "Sled"
Quick update.
I took Friday off in anticipation of doing nothing, but when I finally rolled out of bed at 8:00 AM, the Sled was sitting in the driveway...staring at me...taunting me...mocking me. So I got busy. It’s time to get this rig back on the means streets of Southern California. The pics aren’t really all that exciting, but they’re pics nonetheless. @ 9:30 AM-ish: ![]() @ 1:30 PM-ish (took a 3-hour break to take the kid to the Dr.’s): ![]() Q: What’s hotter than my hot Wife, running a piece of equipment supporting the classic sheetmetal of a square? A: Nothing. ![]() I kept the front clip together as an assembly and stuck it in the backyard. It’s going to be replaced with the front clip off the ’83 parts truck. ![]() Small gap in the picture taking...I was busy...sue me. Pulled the motor and trans as an assembly...the wife ran point in the New Holland again for that. She did a great job. Here’s the motor is sitting in the garage. I’m pretty sure there’s more oil and grease on the outside than on the inside. ![]() End of the day, Friday. As of Saturday, the power steering pump/hoses have been removed from the Hydraboost, the HVAC plenum is on the table in my garage and the frame is squeaky clean courtesy of a gallon of degreaser and the pressure washer. ![]() The motor and trans is leaving for the race shop on Saturday. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a guy, who pulled some strings for me. It’s not going to be a monster, but it’ll have a few more ponies than stock. It’ll be a nice cruiser. |

Re: '77 3+3 C30 Dually - "The "Sled"
Of course, I'd be willing to trade the whole clip for a nice set of headers (they have to have the a.i.r. tubes in 'em).
