Hi Guys, My name is Rudy, and this will be my 1st dually project. It is a 97 Chevy Crew Cab, with a 454. I am a paraplegic, and in a wheelchair, so I'm going to have to bag it so I can get in and out. It currently has a 5-7" belltech drop on it, but it is still at least 6" to high for me to transfer into, using my sliding board. I have built quite a few other vehicles in the last 10 years, but this will be my first truck project since I was about 19. I am 31 now.

Plans for the truck are not too crazy, I want to drive it, and still use it as a truck, meaning I'm trying to avoid cutting the bed for any sort of "super C notch"..... I guess if it comes down to it, I will do it, but I will raise the bed up. I know it has the C-notch that came with the belltech 5-7" drop. I believe I heard the front end will come down until it hits the ti-rods, but that is it. Hopefully that is low enough and I won
