Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Is it possible the requirements are different for a dually rear?

Thats what I'm trying to figure out. The axle tube has a 4" diameter and I know they compensated for that because Dave asked me when I placed my order. I'm pretty confident my measurements are correct as far as notch placement goes. I think the best thing for me to do at this point is mock up a bedside and see where the center line lies with the rear sitting in the notch.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I agree with this. If it's centered in the wheel wells, I don't think it would matter, but I'm not anywhere near as familiar with this kind of stuff as you are. Good luck. I hope it's nothing.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
It looks good even -if- it is off a little.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Hey Rus, nice progress you are making. Curious if both of the rear of the notches are equal distance to the rear of the frame? I can only imagine how much work you did to get that in there, hope you get it fixed. It's probably pretty common issue with a easy fix, good luck.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
with the axle all the way up in the notch are you able to un-bolt the links and adjust them to put the axle where you want?

Thanks Chuck!

I can adjust the length of the bars but right now they are set to the correct length that PB specs for the 67-72 trucks. I'm gonna mock up a bedside and see where the center line lies. I think that will answer my questions.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Great work. I almost wish I would have went with the 4 link setup rather than the ladder bar because I like the way it looks better.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Looking good Rus. You'll get it figured out. I'd still like to stop by your shop some time when you're around, if nothing more than to say what's up, and check this dually out. Keep up the good work bud.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Small update I talked with Dave and Nate about my issue and its all in the bar adjustment so no worries there! And... My 50th Anniversary truck is for sale on Ebay.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Rus, so glad you didn't have to tear anything apart on your frame that's great to hear. Did you sell your 50th Anniversary truck yet, those wheels on it look cool.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
No the 50th truck is still for sale. I had a lot of interest but no one pulled the trigger. It's ok I sure enjoy driving it. I'll drove it till it sells! Lol I should have some updates on Darcy next week.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
holy cow man this build rocks I just had a chance to go through it from start too last post. Rus you're killin it! Don't want to jack you thread, but did your PB step notch index off any of the existing holes in the frame, basically wondering if it is self explanatory. Again man great work, and I know I'm a lot late on it but congrat on the little bundle of joy!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Yes PB indexes everything off of existing holes in the frame. Will you run trailing arms or a 4 link?

Trailing arms, similar to Dino's first dually.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Cool you shouldn't have any problems, the notches are centered using the bed mount hole closest to the axle (in front of the axle) and if you run PB's trailing arm crossmember it will bolt into the factory location. Its not hard it just takes a little time! I'm looking forward to your progress!
