85 C30 Dually just getting started
Bought the truck for 800, seems to run ok, rear brakes seem to leak, but I'll check that out after a while, need front doors, body isnt perfect, this is going to be my first lowered vehicle, so far the axle flip kit came in today, may attempt to put it on next week

Re: 85 C30 Dually just getting started
Cool project! I saw a fluorescent orange 29 Ford Model A Sedan this year at the hot Rod Power Tour, and I was like holy crap! That was a lot of bright orange!

Re: 85 C30 Dually just getting started
got a lil bit more done, but most importantly, finished most of one side of the flip kit, FINALLY!, I wont even say how long it took me, but now I should have it all figured out to finish the other side a whole lot faster

Re: 85 C30 Dually just getting started
I will have to say, I have never seen one half of a flip kit installed at a time. Be careful under there, one tons are most definitely heavy trucks.

Re: 85 C30 Dually just getting started
I couldnt help but take pics and pretend I have airbags, Ya it is kinda scary being under that thing, but using 2 jack stands and 2 jacks.
