1977 Chop Top Crew Cab Dually!

Thanks Calfboy.



Ok forgot to post these up, so I'll do it now.

Rear lower bag mounts are complete. I got a couple sets made so if anyone needs any just holla.

I'm CADing all thus stuff from here on in so I can run off anything you see me fabbing up.

I'm also going to mold my rear Dually fenders next week in case I need another set for whatever reason.

Here they are...


Lmfao...ta da!

I just Tig welded one together quick for a picture.





With a slambag to show how it hugs the curve on an RE7.




Let's get them welded up!

Nice work you do bro...... the bag mounts look great too nice and strong...

Thanka man. I'm trying to get this truck on the ground by next Friday night.

Saturday is a small minitruckin meet that I'd love to drag this out to. It won't be done by any stretch, but I may be able to get it in primer with the front and rear suspension done and throw the big wheels on it and let it lay down for a bit of much needed sunshine.


I leveled the truck off which took more time than I thought it would. Then i got the lowers tacked in. I got the notch back to 90 degrees...it was bowing in a bit cause I had to remove the two center supports. We're good again.

Cleaned it all up.



Tacked the bag mount in place.



Then threw the bags in.



I've got about a half inch on both sides so I think I'm good.



I'll be back on it tomorrow.

Well I can't make it to the weekend show, but I got the rear mounts pretty much done. My buddy is finishing the design in CAD, should have pics early next week.

I got the steering rack in for the crossmember so I cand take out the old crunchy makeshift one and clean up my welds etc and get the front down.

Very nice work. Wish I had the skills.

Thanks leedog, I've got the first set of tubing bent just need the center section cut out.

I'd post pics, but I just have the CAD and 3D file pics.

I need to get this back end done. But I started stripping off the rust and old paint out back and along the frame with a sand blaster. Then I'm going to paint it all matte black. The four link bars, and panhard bar will be powdercoated gloss black.

That rear end is going to need a good cleaning too, think I'm going to need more sand.

So it's back to business.

Got the bridge done and fabbed up. Then I welded it into place.


The bag mounts were not square when the rear end was laid flat out so I ended up fixing those too. They also got moved further inbound cause they were too close to the notch for my liking. It all got tore out basically and put back in lol.



The shock mounts and top for the top rear bag mounts are finished up in the CAD programs, they just need to be cut. I changed the design cause the bends just couldn't be done as tight as I originally wanted.

I'll be back on this soon to wrap it up.

My front end would be totaly sick on this truck you should hit me up.

What front end you got? Any pics?

This 77 is going to sport an all stock 77 front end. I'm even debating on no billet grille and going all OEM grille.

When the time comes I guess lol.

Just curious if you dug anything up for me yet bro?
