Re: Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures!
Here's my 1984 Chevrolet cab and chassis welding truck, original 454 engine and 4 speed manual tranny. The bed was installed when it was new, it's really heavy made out of 1/8" diamond plate and the framework is 3" C-channel. It just hit 100K miles about a month ago, runs good and strong and gets about 11MPG loaded down with the welder and tools. Once I get 'er going faster than 65, I get about 11 gallons to a mile.

Re: Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures!
Hey farmall, The fuel tanks are stock location and the boxes are only 12" deep. The tires are 255/85 and required 1/2" spacers inside the first wheel and 1" spacers between dualls. Thanks and have a good one.

Re: Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures!
Hey partner, The wheels on this truck are Alcoa 16 x 6. The tires are 255/85. (33 x 10). 1/2 inch spacers on the inside needed for the tire to clear the springpack on a narrow cab / chassis rear and 1.5 inch spacers between the dualls. With this setup there was no need to cut the factory wheel studs. I picked up the hub centric - aluminum spacers on ebay. Fit perfect and seem pretty stout. The truck has no lift and the 33" inch tires fit well. Thanks and good luck.

Re: Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures!
This thread and the cc sticky thread make me smile. I drive my R30 every day and park it in front of my house so I can look at it out my living room window... And I still end up going and looking through these thread a couple times a week! Gotta be true love huh?
So many great looking trucks in here guys! Keep up the good work! And don't think I'm not super jealous of you guys who have the space to own more than one of these bit-chin beasts! Posted via Mobile Device
