How about some pics of 88-98 Part II - Page 44 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New here, New to me dually also. '96 454/4L80. 140k miles. Bought it for a daily driver and to pull our 28' Haulmark Edge race trailer. It's a Craig's List find. Super well kept truck that I'm super proud to have!! I installed the new grille and all clear LED's, front deflector, towing mirrors, new stereo etc... Have Belltech 5/7 kit ready to go on it.

Congrats on the find, & welcome to the forum! That's a great looking tow rig & just overall clean looking ride. Gonna look even better with that 5/7 drop.

Cape Codder · 12-19-2014, 11:29 PM

I love the two tone look,and the colors. What did you do to lower it? I have a 98 RCSB and have lowered the rear 2 " but would like to go a little lower. I would rather not notch the frame, and don't want it down to low for a daily driver. Yours sits nice.

Mdewig1995 · 12-19-2014, 11:44 PM

It is lowered 5 in front using 3 lower control arms and 2 springs and back is 6 with flip kit and notch it was lowered when my dad bought it new in 95 and was a daily up till 7 years ago and thanks I just painted it a year ago this month

Dub_X · 12-20-2014, 08:23 PM

Well, I haven't been on here in MONTHS, so I guess it's time to show off my most recent score. '96 Silverado, light-duty 6-lug C2500. Bought it for $400 locally, about 4 miles from my house, a little over a month ago. Bought it with late-model steel 17s, bald 265-70 tires, and a bad 4L60-E transmission. Has 275K on the odometer, engine is a replacement.

NOW fast forward a few weeks. Now has a 4L80-E in it from a '99, steel 16" wagon-style wheels with 235/85 E rated 10 Ply tires on all four corners, new upper ball joints, and she runs like a champ.

I'm thinking about updating my factory blue interior with blue leather with charcoal inserts and charcoal accents on door panels opinions

If you want a contemporary look,, stay with a single color. Go with charcoal and use solid with perforated inserts.

Tell me about that hood? I've seen another one like it on a dually that the guy custom made.

gearhead4c1500 · 01-05-2015, 03:20 PM

Basically skinned the 08 hood and welded it on an 92 hood.i had to split the front in three places so it would lay back like i wanted it to. My buddy was a paint and body guy for 20 years so he helped me out.

Amazing work! Ever since I saw that dually I've been wanting to have one made. That was even before I had an 88-98 to put it on.

Daaamn. I'm usually not a fan of interchanging bodystyles (like 88-98 beds on 67-72 trucks), but this is Dually with the HD hood is sick!

Cape Codder · 01-06-2015, 08:40 PM

Nice work. It is so nice to see old school customizing is still alive and well. Much nicer than the cowl hood bolt on that that is so popular. The rise in the front is also a throw back to the 67/72 style hood. I wonder if my brother would miss the hood on his HD.
