my first true dually build...

Ive been lurking on here for a year now, I see everyone with their badass pigs.. and before i even get started.. what is the best thing? try to fab a frame from scratch? or weld in some 2x4 tubing and cut the bottom to body drop? or can I use 5x3? since my truck has to be rewired front to back, What is best thing to buy? a painless kit or does another company have something comparable? i want to build this to tuck some 24s.. I know this will take time..

also, how did you "Z" the front frame...

Ill most likely be doing most of this by myself.. so any one man hints and help thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for the site everyone.. it is truly great!

I am going to post pics up of things as I do them.


plus, I have a 396 with a fresh rebuild that I am looking to get rid of to get a 454...

What model truck you building determines what the best method will be on the frame. The painless kit is great on the wiring...

i agree,painless is way to go wiring wise

it is a 95 crew cab. seems to be a very popular build.
