Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Just a single wheel long bed 3/4 ton 4wd.
Believe me, its nothing to see. The truck is rough and shabby. But its white, has a granny 4 speed and good 8 lug four wheel drive chassis.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
My McMaster Carr order with the stainless fuel filler hardware is still stuck for 7 days now in UPS Georgia hub.
Rockauto order of front brake hoses and caliper rebuild kits showed up today. Of course I'm stuck at the station working. My wife sends me texts with pictures of my stuff that shows up while I'm at work. Nothing new to report otherwise.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Sounds like a good score on the K2500. We have a 95 K2500 8 lug 8600+ GVW ext cab lwb. I absolutely love that truck. My wife is normally the one who gets to drive it.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
Y'all don't go all getting excited about the 4 wheel drive. It's fairly haggard around the edges. I'll get pics when I pick it up tomorrow. Here is the Craigslist picture though. Again, this truck is years beyond wearing a white wedding dress if you know what I mean.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
If you look closely, there is a long "barbed wire" pinstripe down the lower body line. They used the left over pinstripe to do the 4x4 with. As soon as I paid for the truck I took my thumbnail and began to rake the pin striping off to make sure it wasn't stuck too bad. Believe me, that crap is as good as gone as soon as I get it to the shop.

Shoot, it'll give you something to pick at a little at a time. Good solid bones.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
I did not know the SM465 was still available at that point. Cool truck. No diesel love?

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
The NV4500 didn't replace the SM465 until 1992.

No one. It's sitting by my shop. I don't really care for the truck so I haven't even touched it in a few weeks. I'll either part it out or sell it soon. I either bond with a truck or not, and that truck is most definitely a "not". Now, this new 4x4 I picked up today, I really, really like that truck. Its a pile of junk, but I couldn't be happier. That ones not going anywhere. Before I had it up to fourth gear, I knew I had found my new keeper. That said, I spent the morning retrieving the 4x4 home and poking at a few things on it. But, this afternoon, I drove it to the parts store and borrowed their ball joint tool. When I got home, I got the front suspension of the dually reassembled. I still have to do the rotors and brakes, but the control arms, springs, shocks, ball joints, and basically the hard stuff is now finished. I should have it sitting on Alcoas fairly soon. ![]() No, I didn't go all mental on detailing the suspension. I just cleaned and painted the stuff I worked on and left the rest au natural. It's all been pressure washed clean several times so there's nothing under there that I'm really ashamed of.

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
![]() I got this 88 off of a farmer up here and it was a basket case, it my daily driver now....it had those black busted black fender flares on it. I have not found a decent set of those around. I have rebuilt the engine, trans case front end, replaced the bed, bumper, tailgate, drivers door, fenders, and fixed every little detail I could possibly fix, the lights on the floor 4x4 shifter even work....I like white trucks with TBI as well, my 87 is white and TBI. It's easy to find nice body parts...

Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build
That's a total bummer about the '78. I was looking forward to reading about it. Oh well. I'll take the control arms and all the suspension, lol.
