Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
haha.. maybe one day. Gotta figure out how big I can go while keeping it a comfortable daily highway driven truck. The way it is now with 6" of lift and 35" tires, it doesn't handle much different then before I lifted it. Its a work truck, not an off roader, but even so, I wouldn't mind doing a coil spring conversion up front just to soften the ride. Also, gotta trade my pitman spacer block for a left to right pitman? arm setup to get rid of some bump steer. Does anyone know if thats a stock option, and if so, what the correct name for that "pitman arm" part is? As for the front coils, someone suggested modifing a Dodge 2500 long arm kit, and I haven't found anything easier short of building it from scratch..

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
if I buy it im going to offer 1500 no motor or tranny. I dont need the headaches of a 400 small block.
I think it is a perfect cantidate for a NV4500 and a Cummins through! ![]()

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Here's one locally that may be up for sale in the near future. I believe it's a 454/TH400. If it does go up for sale, what would be a reasonable offer for me to make on it?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
I came up on this Girls Truck! Tried to take some pics but she was driving it like she stole it! lol
had a few cool custom touches like the 15" lift and 44inch swampers, skull fender emblem, pink rearend cover, had a cowl hood and billet grill with pink country girl across the windshield. We live in Kansas City so dont see trucks like these ever. |

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
That truck is outta sight. I'd kill to have a truck like that, but then my mom wouldn't be able to get in it or drive it.

Doing so allowed me to park in the back row at the flying hook in Tacoma when it was packed with a 48' step deck and a W900L with a 265" wheel base. Quote:

As well outside of that incadent I never so much as had a fender bender, nor have I EVER had a freight claim. Quote:
I know the types of trailers you are talking about because I drove one, But you know what it had its limitations too, and a lowered pickup yanking a gooseneck is going to have nowere near the capability of a hydraulic detach rgn. As well with those types of loads you have the luxury of pilots to block traffic for you, and often times police escorts, and alol damn day to get them where they are going, and plenty of time to catch your z's with curfew. I have set a trailer down many times, I am careful and I havetn wrecked em, a great example of setting down on a drive way was when I was hauling a 55 ton crane into a walmart so as that they could set air conditioners on the roof, the driveway was so steep that even with the neck lifted all the way I still touched the trailer down just before the trailer axles. But you know what because I have common sense and I do know a thing or two about driving, instead of flooring it and trying to drag it over, I backed up a ways, got out, put down some lumber and drove up on it giving me the clearence to make the driveway. I also used to run a Lufkin double drop mechanical detach tandem axle spring ride, I had plenty of times I couldnt get that old piece of crap in a driveway, often times I was throwing blocks under tires to get it in places. Getting to the fact of the matter, I never said that hydraulics or pneumatics wernt amazing, I never said that they did not make a vehicle more capable, because I sure as hell know that they do. What I said was that I would find driving a slammed crew cab dually cross country, or as a daily driver for that matter rather unpractical, and that it is not something I want to do. As well if you read a little closer you would find that I am building an 85 with air ride that will be slightly lowered that is if I dont convert it to a 4x4. Now all that being said, could everyone get over being buthurt at the fact that I said I didnt like the color 1 truck was painted, the way it was lowered and that I wouldnt want to have to drag a trailer cross country with it. I am speaking purely what works for my puropses, I really dont care if some one else is doing it, if they are more power to them. I know that everyone here has seen something done with a truck that is absolutely atrocious and had something to say about it. I mean if I took a short bed, slammed it on hydraulics and stuffed 14" gold wire wheels on it, and then painted it yellow and pink with a mighty morphin power rangers mural on each side. Then if I came over here a postin pics talking about how cool it was, I garuntee some of you all would have something to say about it, and it wouldnt be nice. That being said, I didnt like it when a guy took a truck that was black (which is my favorite color) painted it purple with silver flames, Is that really such a crime? Or is it because I am not into rolling in a truck that is laid out, does that make me less of a person here with out the right to an oppinion? This whole thing has just entered a level of stupidity that makes me not want to come on here at times. And that is a real shame because I love these trucks, the 80's crew cab dually is my favorite truck of all time, it is that one truck that I just love, it is the pinacle of trucks for me. What I was really hoping when I opened my big damn mouth with my post talking about what I did and didnt like there was that I would meet some like minded folks that I could talk trucks with and become friends with. Was I really in the wrong place? We all have our own oppinions, there are people here who emphasize on puttin em back bone stock, who cringe at the thought of cutting a dash for a radio, there are guys on here who cut em up into truggies and wheel the snot out of em, and those who ride em low, those who ride em high, those who use em for play, and those who still work em hard. Just a thought but why dont we celebrate our differences of oppinion a little bit instead of chastizing anyone who has one. Because call my crazy if everyone drove a truck that was done exactly the same way as the next guys, life would be pretty damn boring. I am going to step off of this rant now and put it to bed, I really dont see a point in continueing it further, so could we please just stick to posting pics of trucks?

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
Don't feel to hated, I kind of agree. While I don't hate the slammed trucks, I do think that makes the truck useless so I would never own one. But to each their own. Now I would love to have a 4x4 like the last one. Your are right, that just looks good.
