Re: Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures!

Hehehe... I can never pass up one of these threads...



Bought it last fall and parked it when it snowed... hopefully pulling it out this weekend

Got a "to-do" list longer then an entire kindergardens class christmas list...

Need to decide what route i am going in life (school/work) etc before i dive in to deep but i'd really like to get the cummins in this "pig"

I am the type of person who will go to change the oil and 6 hours later i will have it stripped down to the frame... I need to be very careful, pace my self and plan it out properly as not to to wreck it for my self.

My intentions are to build it to be a daily driving work truck with the power and comfort of a modern vehicle. plain and simple

My 86 extended crew. The drop pic is photoshopped, I havent decided on how low to drop it yet, but it will be limo black when finished. You guys have some beautiful trucks here, I hope to have one just as nice one day.

The horse hauler:


350/th400 - formerly owned by an asphalt company until my wife bought it a couple of years before we got married. Just put in a rebuilt trans and upgraded the drastically undersized trans cooler. Runs much better now
If we keep it long enough, I'd like to put a diesel in it - this 8-10mpg is getting old.

Can I play, even though it's an 88. Put some new (well acceptable anyway) shoes on it today, should bring it home in the morning. It runs surprisingly strong for a 350, I guess the 4.56s don't hurt. Gotta clean it up and figure out what I got and how to turn it into a car hauler.

Re: Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures!

Here's my 1984 Chevrolet cab and chassis welding truck, original 454 engine and 4 speed manual tranny. The bed was installed when it was new, it's really heavy made out of 1/8" diamond plate and the framework is 3" C-channel. It just hit 100K miles about a month ago, runs good and strong and gets about 11MPG loaded down with the welder and tools. Once I get 'er going faster than 65, I get about 11 gallons to a mile.
