It is what i had laying around, plus i only needed about 4"-5" to cover the outer dual.

I'm gonna pretend i didn't read some of you guys hatin' on crew cab short beds

Racker, I dig the fenders.

I always wanted to build a '64-5-6 dually and use the step fenders like that

Devillusion · 05-26-2010, 09:58 PM

Love it......thought about using ones from a 73-87 myself. Just might have to be more serious about it now.

good job so far.

Mr Pops · 05-27-2010, 03:20 PM

Had to pick up a free car.. Lifted truck comes in handy for rigging a last minute hitch for a borrowed goose neck..

joe231 · 05-27-2010, 04:10 PM

Very cool hitch there Mr. Pops!

I couldn't believe how well it worked and how perfectly level the trailer was. I have a two piece hitch that's adjustable for height, so I flipped it upside down and flipped the ball. It didn't make for very good weight distribution, but it worked fine for a light car..

Mr Pops · 05-28-2010, 02:57 PM

My doors are a little thicker than I thought thanks to some bodywork from a previous owner.. I HATE BONDO!!!!

It doesn't have to.

No, but...

...since you do still plan on pulling with it, I would recommend some helper bags for the rear. There is nothing cooler than a slammed dually proudly showing the world that it can still do the deed!!

Nice project. you plan on swapping the 3/4 to the 1/2 ton? or you going to do the Hills Hot Rod 3/4 ton short bed look

anson0487 · 05-29-2010, 01:08 AM

I am planning on leaving it 3/4 ton, 2 wheel drive. TBI 350, 700r4. Aside from swapping all the sheet metal and motor/trans from the suburban the only major mod. is shorting the frame for short wide bed.

PureLuck88 · 05-29-2010, 01:11 AM

going to look good keeping the 3/4 ton running gear. what color is it going to be

anson0487 · 05-29-2010, 01:24 AM

I was thinking gray or silver, but when i found this sub in such great condition, now im thinkin probly black. it will be alot less paint work.

PureLuck88 · 05-29-2010, 01:45 AM

black would look cool but it shows everything. lol.

GmtGmt · 05-29-2010, 07:19 AM

anson0487 · 05-31-2010, 03:19 PM

Not bad i made my own motor mounts and hooked the 47re OD up on hobbs switches do it shifted into OD by line pressure. That truely was the tricky part getting each switch "3" total to the correct pressure but when i got it right man it would haul the mail

It was bored 20 over and had a 50 hp fuel plate with 120 hp stage 2 injectors and NO SILENCER RING

. it was the best truck i have built so far but my 88 CC will Take over the world HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA ................... a sinister laugh insues......
