Re: building a dually the hard way, watcha think so far

i havent put intercooler on yet i put a bigger turbo on it but we started planting beans and corn so i had to get it on the road to pull the tender wagon.... i am soonto install one though.... had to upgrade to all banjo clamps since it kept blowing the tubes off on long grades.... also i made my mount for the engine to accept standard chevy motor mounts and it was pretty simple, that way they are alot stronger and if one fails the engine wont flop over like standard cummins mounts..... the 4x4 shifter is a factory 69 camaro console hurst that i had left over from my old car, i just turned it around and it fit pretty sweet.... all i have left of my 69 camaro......

Very nice! You might try to get some flaps on it so you're camaro doesn't get any new rock chips.

Dude, I love your truck. I'd love to see it in person. I like the other front end better though.

I do agree with the one headlight not looking the best .I just thank that that grill with the two small lights have been over done all the trucks around here have it. I would have went with the two bigger headlight grill. IMO

Re: building a dually the hard way, watcha think so far

Beautiful truck, but I'm kind of partial.











What lift are you running to fit the q78s? Your truck is almost exactly the route I am planning on going, except I will be swapping the 350 for a big block down the road.

You know it is the same truck, look at the blue seat belts. Sweet truck, other than color I am doing the same thing.
