Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Seriously cool truck how much of a pain was it to mount the chevy cab to the dodge frame ? Have the dodge truck sans body and 69 cab etc was seriously thinking the same deal with a focus more on work truck than show yours looks to be a truck worthy of showing off :metal: and very often keep us posted Mike

Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Looking good. Should be fun when done.
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
in response to muddyole 69, the mounting of the cab and frontclip was much easier than i thought it would be. i removed the dodge cab mounts completely, then i hung the cab and front end over the frame from an overhead gantry, i centered the wheelwells and lowered cab down as much as i thought i could get away with then fabbed some blocks to temp hold everything in place ithen checked some clearances. if it wasn't for the fact that i wanted the charge air cooler i could have used the gm rad support with no mods but c.a.coolers help make serious hp so i used the outer portions of the gm rad support and grafted them to the dodge rad/ cooler support. after that mod the rest was a cakewalk. I went acouple step further and cutout the firewalll and tran reliefs and made a flat firewall and totally flat floor too! oh by the way this truck is not really for show as i will be running it daily as my steel hauling and portable welding rig

Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
alittle bit of massaging and that 67-72inner fender just might look at home there!

some more pics from the last few weeks , these show the airride systems from kelderman the front went together perfectly, however the rear system was apain as i had to re fab almost half of the brackets I think the guys at kelderman need a big kick in the butt to get their brackets square and straight!!!!!!!!!! I was very pissed at their attention to detail, a 16 yr old that works for me in summer is way better at fabbing nuf said here are the pics!

Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Awesome project.Cant wait to see it done.
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Holy Crap! That is one massive undertaking... how long have you been working on it? You say it's going to be a welding rig when done? That is going to be awesome.:metal: I like the color, what flavor is that?
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
i started the project chosn1 back in 81 when it was a1/2 ton lowrider,i chopped 5 outta the roof shaved the emblems,side markers and door handles and primered it, i missed driving it to my high school grad by 2 wks I wore the truck out over the next few yrs towing a ski boat from calgary to kelowna for slalom competitions,racked up almost 90,000 miles then the truck sat for 12 yrs in my yard. this time around i began grafting the cab and front clip to the dodge chassis in2003 and i hope to be mobile in spring 07,the truck will have 5 pull on decks,welding deck,steel hauling rack system,enclosed toy deck dump box, and of course one of my custom aluminum trailer towing decks as seen on my website www.rockalta .com the flavor coat is 2005 dodge daytona truck color called go man go

WOW! Ain't never seen that be-feer.:metal:
Are you making it a flat bed? |
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Awesome! Where did you get the spiked nuts at? I have been looking for some and have come up empty handed.
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
that framework will be a flatdeck with headboard and steel hauling rack above the cab and those nuts are out of my fastener inventory for the bikes we build, anyone can get them from a local hd dealer or from custom chrome catalogs or v-twin etc. i can send them to you but shipping from canada to the us would be too much!

Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Thats BadAZZ!

Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
well! its almost 7:30 am and squeeze and i are off to the hospital to have a baby so i guess my progress pics could be slowed up a bit, see you all later,
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Nice truck, and congrats on the baby! Good Luck today!!
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Congrats on the new little one. Nice truck also. That color is close to my '93. Prowler Orange. What are you going to use for a windshield? Lexan or have a windshield cut to fit?
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
:metal: well chosn1 has a new navigation system, his name is Jacob and he came to us at 12 min after midnight on jan 1 and he is calgarys first born for 2007 ! and with front page pics i guess he is destined for fame!:cool:
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Congrats on the new baby!
That deck system is pretty awesome! |
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
to answer kevin45s ? i have 3 w'sheilds already cut to fit, itis really easy to get them to fit beacause i didn't go the crappy lean job type of chop top.
|

Here are a few pics of the dually my hubby built a few years ago. It was a blast. We pulled out many Power Strokes, Cummins, & Z71s. If you could fit between the trees; it would go through anything! |
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Great truck. I want some pics of the cummins. Keep the updates coming.
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
holy crap !!!! your truck rocks! what size are those tires, i wonder if they'd fit my alcoas. oh and i see tillt frontend, blu dots. 4 link,headers on the outside of frame etc, etc:phat:
|
Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
THANKS we had a blast with it!
The tires are 38.5x11x16 Boggers. He made the wheels (16x8 rimbands & dually centers) so the offset & such would be right. I think the biggest reason we had to make wheels was the inside of the 2 tires would rub each other if tried to run stock type rims. Isn't that dually Skyjacker built on Alcoas??? But they could have had custom one made$$$$. |

a bit more progress, i have the first toolbox tacked up, i'll fit it to the frame next week. i also have the pass side inner and outer fender going on so that i can fab up aspot for the air cleaners so sit so that they can pull air from the louvers in the hood.

That just continues to become more wicked the more you do to it!

Re: my radical 4x4 dually project
Wow, great truck, and the removable bed system is absolutely brilliant. I thought about building a hydrualic flatbed much like the amerideck system, but yours whomps that bigtime, I like the way you can drop the bed to the ground for loading.
