It dropped a valve and needs to have the top half of the engine put back together. but that's why i got it so cheap.

I think the sleep/wing are already spoken for but I will let you know if the deal falls through. Shipping to denmark is probably ridiculous.

Thanks guys, as you can see from the above pic the engine needs to be put back together. But I may have found a bigblock that a guy pulled from an 86 suburban. So yes Joe once I get in engine in bigred I will make a road trip.

Very cool! Looks like it will be fun man. So I am gathering that you are planning on dropping the coin for the semi wheels?

BGRAFX 04-26-2010 10:20 PM

Re: BigRed 81 crewcab dually
 
I will eventually upgrade wheels probably just direct bolt on 19s unless I hit the lottery.22" and 24" Dually wheels are $3-$4k

Ya, I know...they are awesome but the money to run them is just plain stupid!!

Re: BigRed 81 crewcab dually
 
Right now I've got a headache becuz I can't find a decent engine. And its not going to be a shortbed, I'm going to paint it black from body line up and keep the bottom half Red including the dually fenders.
