Re: The Project With No Name
Hell yeah. I'm really digging the tailgate area treatment it is the perfect mix of modified and stock. I also think the squared off rear end works so much better with the dually. Are the wheels going to be powder coated aluminum, polished, or steel?

Re: The Project With No Name
Custom cut aluminum 22 inch wheels, powder coated white, to mimic the steel 22.5 inch wheels.

Re: The Project With No Name
That's just what I had in mind but I couldn't really tell from the rendering. I think those will take it to the next level.

thanks! I have been wanting to do a tailgate like this for a while. I feel it makes it look older even though it will be shaved and slammed. I also think the grants 3-piece roll pan will look *****in on the dually bed. It should look real fat from the backside!

Re: The Project With No Name
I was going to run steel 22.5 but i cant have them turned down to fit a 22 tire. I would have to streatch the tire and i dont feel comfy doing that. So i am gonna make a aluminum wheel look steel!

Re: The Project With No Name
Hey guys
Just wanted to chime in here. Turned out pretty good, huh? Thanks for the kind words. The website still isn't up. I'm having a problem with my computer, I think. It will no longer let me bring anything into the builder??? I'm gonna try from a friend's tonight. IDK, we'll see. It's a work in progress, but it will be up very shortly and it's www.eastsidedesignlab.com Cheese, I just read through and saw that you are thinking about a Cummins now. You want me to remove the underhood from the rendering for the final print? It would unclutter it somewhat. Also, you want the Hill's logo in the background? I was thinking of taking there existing logo and making it look like a neon sign. Up to you. Let me know.

Re: The Project With No Name
idk if you have checked dima wheels out yet, but he makes a completely smooth 22 inch wheel for duallys, looks good and probably would be easier to cut the wheel design you want from a set of those. Hes in texas also.

Re: The Project With No Name
It means it came from the factory with no bed on it. It was built to have either a flat bed, or box, or tow truck setup on the back etc.. The rear end is usually a little narrower too.

Yep, Dima wheels. That's the guy I was trying to tell you about. I couldn't get any info, no matter how many times I googled Lima wheels ![]() Anyway he's right around the corner from me and seems to do decent work. If you decide to use him, let me know if my proximity can be of use.
