I currently have hummer 37's on my truck with wide dually rear using bushwackers and they barely cover but again thats the wide rear, I love the tires though cant beat them for the price and the wear like no other tire avail.

You have 37s on dual wheels? I'd think 12.50s are far too wide for a 6 or 6.5 inch dually rim. If I did that I'd have to space between the rims and between the inner and the hub, then I probably could use a regular dually bed instead of a fleetside with bushwhackers. Hmmm.

Yeah I thought it was pretty sweet, its also got a narrowed D80 under it and what looks like widened Dodge dually wheels.

I plan on running hummer 37's on my dually too once I convert it over to 4x4. If you have a D70HD and you need a little more room between the inners and springs you can use 14BFF hubs to give you a little more offset, its a direct swap.

I looked at that picture moving the springs directly under the frame. I am guessing the only reason he did that is so he could offset the wheels and move the tires inboard
DetroitDan, What is different in NH so you can not drive something like that on the road there?

I was referring to the lift laws, can't be more than 30 inches to the bottom of the bumper, and tires can't extend beyong the fenders. I've had 3/4 ton squares with 4 inch suspension and 35s, which never measure to the nominal height, and was just about dead on. So with 6 inch suspension and 37s, I'll be a tad over, but I'll risk it. I don't go far and I know most of the cops in my area pretty well.

HOLY CRAP! NICE SCORE!!! Particularly in Eastern WA!

bilfman · 10-07-2012, 10:34 PM

Awesome score, you got the rare 4l80e/np205 combo

zombiescustoms · 10-18-2012, 09:53 PM

Just picked up this 87, it's my third square body, needs some interior work but is super solid. Would like to find the small roof spoiler on the back of the cab, any one know where I can score one?

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-18-2012, 10:08 PM

Man, that's a sweet dually! There was a guy here on the board recently whom had a rear cab spoiler and was going to remove it. I can't remember who it was though. If I remember I'll post back.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-18-2012, 10:08 PM

Mr.Chevyblack, sweet score!

zombiescustoms · 10-18-2012, 10:09 PM

OK thanks!

Not sure what year they are from, but they look way better than the originals that came on these trucks!

Bagged a three-point buck this morning! Bout 50mph, square-broadside. Little sucker was about neck high to the bumper and just got sucked under. Deer is TOAST, not so much as a scratch on the Crummy. Little hair on the shackles but that's it. At least this time I wasn't pulling the boat. That one was EEEEEEW!

Mr Pops · 10-21-2012, 02:33 AM

Probably the heaviest thing I've towed yet. My buddies 99 Shortbox dually diesel. Handled the weight just fine as far as control and ride quality, but my poor little 350 wasn't too happy on the highway..

Eyegore · 10-25-2012, 12:45 AM

Heres one I found online, 73, not sure how he put the newer headlight in wuth the older fenders

The hood work looks like PhotoShop, but the headlights look like they could be legit.
