I like it. Regular cab squarebody dually is the way to go!

SunSoaked · 12-19-2018, 11:19 PM

X2 on what Sweetk30 said. I've nothing but bad experience with Holley and fitech. Consider Edelbrock Pro-flo.

**lolife99** · 12-19-2018, 11:44 PM

Any progress pics of installing the rear dually fenders on a standard bed?

I already have a Fitech that I acquired in trade, maybe I'll sell it and swap a 5.3 instead. Maybe a better option since I have a 4l80 that I need to swap into something

This is the standard bed, I cut template from a junk dually bed that I had, second picture is just mocked up before I trimmed the bedside, then painted a couple of nice dually fenders that I had laying around.

I know a couple of guys running the FiTechs & they love them. They heard/read various stories (as did I) but they gave it a shot. They said it basically came down to ensuring 'the electrics' were 100% on point. One of the 2 local guys I'm referring to has his set-up on a twin turbo SBF in a 32 Ford street rod.

Weird how hit & miss the issues can be.

Thanks for the pics.
Did you swap in a DRW rearend?

No, I kept the 14 bolt with 2" spacers so I could use 20" eagle wheels but I was unaware they had gone out of business until recently. Im not sure I like the price tag on adapters and 22's. May end up with something like this

In my opinion, nothing looks as good as 10-lug Alcoa’s.
The wheels you picked don’t look bad, just off in the lugnut area.

I totally agree, but for the price I may settle. Maybe in the next few months some of these wheel companies will produce an affordabe 20" direct bolt.

That is nice!
I like the look with the clean painted white wheels.

Agreed

cochino12 · 12-27-2018, 01:39 PM

i like this too, not sure id feel safe stretching a 22 over a 22.5 wheel though

Ziegelsteinfaust · 12-27-2018, 02:09 PM

Nice job, and it looks good.

I have been wanting one bad with a tunnel ram for no apparent reason .

44th Miss Inf · 12-27-2018, 02:50 PM

I like the looks of it with the stock white 16" wheels.

**Mathew21** · 12-28-2018, 03:05 PM
