June (Lockhart) was always tellin Paul, "slam this ride and get some 22's on it!" but he liked the farm truck look. It was a weird combo--it had single rear's on dually rims (just like the front), and a stepper bed with sidemount spare. And tutone! That's about a 1960 episode.



well--the pic didnt open dang it!

Lol!!!

Dark blue '68 bed, anyone?

It looks like it was originally Dk Blue truck, judging by the steering column and interior metal. Whats on top of the original paint, who knows! And---it looks like a later model stick. Could be an NV3500, but no clutch cyl, so I doubt it.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Its hard to tell if thats the right blue in those pics. It sure does look close though, too bad I can't just buy the bed!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Well---it ain't right anyway! It's passenger car blue on an originally red truck! With an SM465 btw.

Rusbuilt,... IF you had it to do over,... would you have rather bought a nice 127" wheelbase C20 truck to build your slammed dually out of.
Looks like you aren't using much off the original truck.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Or....you could start out with a ragged out C20 like I am!

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Hey Keith---I don't think that list of suspension parts I sent via PM ever sent (not that I can see in my 'sent' box). I was having problems with my wifi that day. Did you ever see that more detailed list?
JK

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

no.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

I was actually looking for a c20 to start with but the dually just ended up being a good deal. I like a lot about this truck and its really changed my thinking on how I had planned it to be.. So to answer your question I'm glad I end up with this truck even though I will be changing so much.

I was originally going to just do PB arms and like a mild DM on the rear but now after switching frames and all I'm glad I'm able to do the extreme DMs front and rear!:metal:

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Hell yeah! Go big or go home!

I promise you can have your thread back---when you start tearing that bad boy down! Meanwhile, more inspiration...

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Lol thanks! I love Dino's dually.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

Let me start by saying i love your truck. I have a 72 c20 custom camper that when i bought want to make into a dually but didnt wanna take on such a project so i just took installed a 5 lug setup lowered it down and rode like that but sitting here in Afghanistan ive been looking more and more at it and once i get home i think maybe you"ll have all the guess work taken out of it and i can jus hit you up with all my guestions for parts. Please keep up the good work i look forward daily to checking out the build

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

I need more! Cant wait to see the wheels with rubber, this is going to be sick!

Thank you! I'll be happy to share all of the ins and outs of my build and any questions you may have I will answer to the best of my knowledge!
Soon sir! I hope to start in on my chassis this week!:chevy:

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
 

I didn't know that 93-95 NV4500s have a different size bearing retainer & belhousing index hole than the 96-up. The bolt pattern on the front of the trans is different also. AND--all have the slave cyl on the passenger side.

One way to use a 4500 with either a standard GM cast iron mechanical clutch fork or hydrulic slave, and have it on the left side is with an Advance Adapter bell: http://www.advanceadapters.com/produ...llhousing-kit/

All that dough pretty well cinches the NV3500 in my book. I assume the NV3500 slave cyl is on the left side, huh?
