My 84 CC Dually mod thread - there will be plenty of pics
So I figured I would start a mod thread for my 84 CC Dually.
I bought the truck for one main reason and that is to tow my 30' high performance speed boat! Once I got the truck home it didn't take long for the mod itch to set in(especially when browsing this site!). The truck is a Texas one owner 84 CC Dually with a 454/th400, dana70hd. It is a western hauler edition. Here are a few pics of the truck the way she looks today http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/a0d7c04e.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/cf877f5c.png Posted via Mobile Device |

A photo shopped rendition of a 4/5 drop with some bolt on 19's
The drop will take place while I am on vacation over the Christmas holidays. The components consist of Belltech 3" drop spindles and 1" drop springs, 4" hanger/shackle kit and the plan to remove a few leafs. I will also be replacing all 4 shocks! Come on Christmas vacation!! http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/fa6fc156.png Posted via Mobile Device |

Not sarcastic at all, I really like it! It's one of those things where I would never dream of using either one of those colors alone or as a two tone, but when you see it it just works. I wouldn't change it if it were me.

I dont know if you can gain another inch by pulling that over load spring out.
but you will need to remove the stops for the over loads off the frame if you dont pull the springs I guess Ill be watching to find out. I have the 4/4 drop on mine and it dosnt take a lot of weight to start leveling it out |

You probably know this already, but Western Hauler is a company in Ft Worth Texas that does conversions on trucks. Back when I was in high school (87-91) all the guys with money had Western Hauler trucks. They are still in business, but nowadays they are focusing on the latest trend among Texas ranchers, medium duty trucks. They convert the Freightliners and Peterbilts now. I still rubberneck every time I drive by their shop.

Re: My 84 CC Dually mod thread - there will be plenty of pics
I love the interior in these things! I'm not a fan of old man tan and doo doo brown but I wouldnt change the paint on this truck. I like it. I would get rid of the wing thing on the back of the cab and thats it. Not sure what its called

I will know more once I start lowering the rear but maybe a combination of removing a couple leafs but keeping the overload and moving the frame pads might allow me to set it up where she can sag 1" and then be touching the overload spring. Like I said we will see! Posted via Mobile Device |

I'd like to drop the assend another inch so I think I'll make brakets to weld to the frame and lift the front hanger an inch and see what that does

off the top of my head Im thinking its like 2 1/2 inch so I was thinking of using 2x2 angle and weld gusets on the sides drill holes for the upper bolts on the hanger

Re: My 84 CC Dually mod thread - there will be plenty of pics
Id remove the bed it makes life a lot easier when doing the rear drop Ive done it with and with out the bed on
6 bolts plus the 3 screws in each gas filler and ground straps it takes les then an hour but you'll make up that time with it out of the way I'd much rather set or stand as to lay on my back to work on mine |

- removed the chrome molding - removed the towing mirrors - removed the racerback cab fairings - removed the hold western hauler tailgate - installed tailgate from my other 77 pickup - played around with some custom led fender light ideas http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/762ac263.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/34a2ba83.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/e3abfd64.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/05e3d7da.png http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...y/5d87db0a.png Posted via Mobile Device |

http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...pecs%2FLB3.htm I then just hogged out the back of the housing, laid the strip in and then sealed everything with silicone. I used silicone because these strips are not waterproof. I did this mod on my old set of lights to try it, when I buy my new lights I will angle the strip a little bit so it shines straight out the back when mounted in the fender. Currently they are mounted flat in the housing so they are brighter when standing a little to the side vs. straight on the rear. Posted via Mobile Device |

Between airlines, valves, compressors, etc. Airbags can be high maintenance. Where I am going to towing a big boat I really don't want any problems which is why I opted for a static drop instead Posted via Mobile Device |
