Dragging home my first dually

I'm going to pick up my 86' 2wd Chevy CC dually tomorrow. I guess it's time to redgister and sign in. I have a 91' Cummins for it and I'm planning "the works", BD, bags, 22.5s and a Eaton 6speed. We'll see how it shakes out.

Welcome to the site.

awesome plans

Well here she is in all her glory! She needs a bath. the guy said the trans was bad and we would have to pull it on the trailer with a tractor. You should have seen his face when I fired it up and drove it thru the yard and onto the trailer. 30min and we were out of there.

Here's the Cummins donor.



Already stripped and off to the scrap yard.

awesome

Well it's been a long time coming; with a new job, a 100mile move, a new shop, paying projects, etc I'm finally getting back to the dually. How many coil was I supposed to cut for a 2"-2" drop?

Just kidding I have 3800s I'm going to try and stuff in their place.

At this point the front clip and box are off, 454 and th400 are pulled, rear axle/suspension is out, rear frame is stripped, mid frame is preped for the SFBD(ordering tubing this afternoon), I have a front suspension off a SW 3/4ton, a 3.21 geared limited slip SW 14bolt and dually hubs to make a C&C and poly bushings on order for the triangulated 4-link. Hopefully progress on the frame will move quickly before I have to bring my buddies 64' Chevy in to be slammed. Wish me luck!

Last night i got the front z-ed 4" at the fire wall. I still have the front of the frame to do. I also collected 6 brand new in the boxes 22.5 Alcoas. Only down side is they are machine finished. I have my adapters done so on to turning them.

your progress is better than mine! it is awesome to fire your project up for the first time!
