i took this build on as just a simple sfbd on 19's and new 4 link. well my big mouth opened said this would be cool and this would be bad ass and so on. now we have a 1st of its kind (that i know of) 1993 dually build. lets see, we started with a bagged 93 dually, frame rails are 2x4x.250, xmember is 2x3x.250 and trany member is 2x2x.250. link bars are 1.5x.250 dom, devious narrowed arms and 6 22's with 265/35/22 tires. everything on this truck is .250 plate and tubing. just because of the monster that was going under the hood. 03 lb7 dmax with allison tranny. updated the front end with a 04 gmc clip, custom 01 hd cowl hood. inside we put a 04 dash and steering comlum as well as dual climate control. yes it still fully functions. not on to some pictures.

heres the rendering. its pretty much spot on. itll have just some slight differences. oh and my shop is killin' it kustoms

Sonofabitch...sweet!

Hate to see the upper body line shaved but I understand it, it's a current mod and it helps to match the new front clip, but I'd like to see someone put the body line into the new front clip to match the old style.
