88 Crew cab dually
I just picked this dually up a couple weeks ago. 454, th400, rusted rockers...
It was parked for about 3 years when I got it, I charged the battery and it started right up ![]() So the plans are bags, two tone paint, 16 or 17" wheels, carpet kit and I'll probably swap the th400 next year for a 700r to make it a little more highway friendly. I'm hoping to have it mostly done by the end of September but I'm sure it will take much longer. Here is the truck when I got it

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
today I had a couple free hours so I changed the fluids, filters etc... I took the running boards and mirrors off, looks like it's going to be easier to find a couple of doors instead of filling these holes

You get what you pay for. And if you want the best, you pay for it.

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
Cool project, make sure to take plenty of pictures of the new paint. I am interested to see how it turns out.

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
I'm not spending a lot of money on this one, I'm trying to keep it VERY cheap. They did just call and tell me it is done! I cant pick it up until tomorrow though

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
Can you post some pics of the flip and install when you get going on it? I am getting closer and closer to the fence.

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
I'll try, I may be dropping it off at a friends house to do the drop. My blazer is still in pieces in the garage and I really dont feel like doing it in the driveway.

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
That would be great. Also, do you have any pics of the flip kit hardware?

Picked up the truck today, they totally screwed up the way I wanted it painted. Black was supposed to be on bottom and the paint break is much lower than I wanted it but I think I like the way it turned out. I have until monday to let them know if I am going to have them redo it. I think once I tint the windows and get it a little lower it will look good. I wanted something a little different but not over the top, I'm not really thrilled about the way the paint breaks in the front of the front fender. Here is a crappy cell phone pic for now

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
The colors look pretty good on the truck. Seems like the factory 2 tone break is at the body line on 89-91, and the dually fender is the same color as the lower color. That might look a little better.

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
I didnt want the break on the body line, it was supposed to be just below the door handle which would leave the dually fender the same color as the body. I wonder if painting the dually fender blue would make it look better? It actually doesnt look as goofy in person

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
I think it looks good.
but with that said, it isn't what you wanted or asked for so make them do it over the correct way ![]() what is between the colors? gray stripe?

Re: 88 Crew cab dually
Joe has a point. However, if you got a hookup, you may not want to step on toes.
