Opinion's Wanted, Lowered Crew Dually?

[desertrat]

I was playing with photoshop

[toomanytoyz]

Thanks for the Chop, Especially like the way u shortened up the bed.

Thanks, Rick

[bodydropped]

from the bed pics that rear end setup needs to be redone the 2 link setup needs to be on the bottom of the rear end not the top but if u did a 4 link with strong enough bars and ran like ambulance bags on the rear u can tow just about anything

[magnethead]

I'm more curious as to why the bed was cut....is there that much of a space conflict that the springs hit the bed?

I agree, go 4 link and bags...

[bodydropped]

bed was cut to clear the big center chunk of a dually, i lowered my 82 that low i have to notch the bed support to clear the rear end

wow i wanted one for the longest time just like that but have no storage space in the garadge. SWEET truck though you did well on that trade. to bad your not doing the build up it would make for one heck of a truck. true the wheels are alittle much but it could be one heck of a truck when done and with the right set up could tow well. I also see in the pic looking at it from the frot a willys pick up lifted in the backround????? not sure if i am right but does look kinda like a willys from the firewall up.

Thanks for the input, I have mixed feeling's about the Truck. Currently have Too many projects as it is, Have the Wrecker, The 67 stepside, The Willys u see in Pic & My Nomad...................

Am in no Hurry to Do anything about the Dually for now...............

bodydropped,

Here are a couple of Pics of the Simulators U requested, If i can ever hook up with the guy i got truck from i will ask where he got them. He works construction & is gone a lot.

Thanks, Rick

if you where closer i would get it in a heart beat..this truck should bring 2500 to 5000 easy...a dually that is in rough shape around here where i live will bring 3500..good looking truck

I'd love to build me a Crew Cab Stepside one day. It would be a very stock deal, just find a crew cab in nice shape, chop the frame, shorten the driveshaft, put on the stepside bed and paint everything nice. Swap out the front suspension for half ton stuff and put a 5 lug rear end under it. It would look like something that could have rolled of the lot back in the day.

I'll just keep dreaming though. I want to build a drag car more than a second truck. Maybe when I graduate from school in a few years and get financially able, I can find a nice used 03-07 crew cab for my daily driver.

I would bang the hell outta that truck if it were close enough...

[toomanytoyz]

I would like to say Thanks to all for the Input on the Dually, I Sold it Today to a Guy who has built up several 4X4 Crewcab's & Decided he wanted to build a Lowered one for a Change.

I made hime Aware of the Board & of this Thread ,, I am sending him a link to this Thread & Hope that he become's a Member & will share the Build up......

Rick

[68GMC454]
