Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Yes sir. Eventually one day I'd like to take this truck on a road trip to the west coast and I think buying this 6.0 with the 6L90 6spd auto trans will go will with my 4.10 gear. I'm pretty excited about it!

Congrats on the engine, it'll be nice to not have to stop and fill up every 150 miles.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Russ you will not be disappointed with the fuel injection, reliability, & drivability. Once I "drank the LS cool aide" I can't imagine putting a carb in one again (no disrespect to anyone). Love your choice. Oh by the way your making me wait way too long for updates!!! LOL!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I believe that's a double overdrive, too, right? That should be perfect with your one-ton rear ratio and the height of the 22" semi wheel/tire.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
What is the axle width supposed to be for a dual wheel C30 with a fleetside bed (like yours)? From hub face to hub face.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Haha pun intended right!! the inners on the dually rearend should be very close to what a standard single rear wheel would be. I will still get you she exact measurements. Something you should consider would be your braking situation. If you plan to swap to disc brakes on the rear there are some awesome and inexpensive kits for the dana 70. Plus parts are readily available at any parts house. Some of the older rear ends may be hard to find parts for.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Right!
I got over to the barn today. It looks like 69" is the number. I'm curious to see what your '91 dually Dana measures.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I do have some updates, I'll try and get some pictures tomorrow. I have been extremely busy with work and when I am at the shop I have been focusing all my time on the underhaulin project.
