I got in somebodys flicker photos and found this I thought it was cool only cause I remember going to the drags and everyone use crew cabs to tow with not semi's

Nice to have you aboard. Always wondered whu owned this truck.

JohnC · 01-30-2010, 10:28 AM

Glad to finally see you on here LOW1TON. We all have admired your truck for some time now. I agree with Joe231 you need to make it to one of the get togethers so we can drool on this truck in person.

CHEESE · 01-30-2010, 10:46 AM

Any idea what the specs are on this for the ride height? I love that stance and I want mine to sit like that. It just looks KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!

*BGRAFX* · 01-30-2010, 12:35 PM

Amazing how a painted phantom grill and airride on big wheels makes it look Killer!

**lolife99** · 01-30-2010, 02:16 PM

LOW1TON,...
What's the specs on your suspension?
Did you use a "cab & chassis" rearend and SRW 1-ton front hubs to tuck those 22's?

LOVE your dually!!!

LOW1TON · 01-31-2010, 01:35 PM

Thanks for all the comments on my truck, I am having a rendering done to show how the new paint job will look and also the new colors, but I will give you a hint it will look like a factory two tone paint job just will be in colors you could not get from the factory. Good to see you here Cheese hows your ride coming? are you still interested in my front doors? As far as my suspension setup goes, the front is a sectioned front crossmember where the bags mount, and custom tubular front and lower control arms both shortened to allow everthing to tuck, also running 1 ton front drop spindles from Bell Tech. The rear is the factory DRW 1 ton rearend that was narrowed to keep everthing tucking then there is a custom cantilever set up behind the rear axel. I believe there is a 10" step notch with 1/2" steel plate spaning the top for future towing options. I have 3-5 gallon air tanks and run all 8 gc valves 1/2" size, also running 2 viair compressors. Air ride works great thanks to Hills Hot Rods for all the great work. My wheels are 22" Alcoa classics that were brand new when I bought them and I had the face of both back wheels machined down about 1/2" each to help with tucking them in the back. Joe231 would be awesome to come to one of your meets just let me know when and where.

That truck is way too sick! I would be scared to change it, I think it is perfection.

Tezjoe84 · 01-31-2010, 02:27 PM

I agree... it looks amazing the way it is... but a project is never complete hehe, I'm sure you'll "Wow" us with your ideas once you get them posted.

LOW1TON · 02-03-2010, 10:13 AM

It is all factory supension chevrolet suspension in this picture, however it is all new, new coil springs up front and new leaf packs in the rear, new shock at all 4 corners, the rear leafs also have the factory overload leaf in them as well, the tire size overall was about 30" tall front and rear.

Scootin 81 C20 · 02-03-2010, 07:35 PM

Any idea of front and rear bumper height in that pic? Bottom of bumper to the ground.

LOW1TON · 02-04-2010, 09:42 AM

got no idea sorry.

GmtGmt · 02-05-2010, 07:06 AM

got any more pics of those crew cabs from back in the day

ghettoluxury · 02-05-2010, 08:53 AM

ratty 46 · 02-05-2010, 08:12 PM

I remember those days pig rig ....... they are now a distant memory. Been to the drags lately?? Semi's, TopKicks, Totter Homes .... WOW ...... I guess the old saying of CUBIC MONEY really is true.

HOLY S-I-!!! that thing is long, and we all know that sq bodys dont have the best turning radius to begin with. I guess you would call that a 3+3+3?

more like a 3X3 right? looks silly without a bumper.

*BGRAFX* · 02-10-2010, 02:09 PM

That is awesome! Who built that beast it actually has all 6doors!
Although i have to agree they should have left a front bumper on and What's up with the escalade badge on the grill on fender? needs bigger wheels!
