Dually fender extension it looks like a mega cab quarter now and i think the duct tape is a nice touch!

That thing was wicked before, and I can't wait to see it after this! Btw, what kinda beer do you drink? haha

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Hey, your Burb was awesome before! Great work man! This is going to be an awesome build! As far as a paint sceme, go black with it! That's just a random thought. :lol:

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Why wouldn't you use a 67-72 stepside fender and make it look like it's almost factory?

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Well, thats a great question. A good buddy of mine has a 67 stepside and i grabbed one of his rear quarters and lined up on the truck and it just didnt look right. I think part of it was just vause with the stepside pannels theres an agressive swoop in the front where the wheel wells start. On the suburban it just didnt look correct cause with the 3 door style theres just a huge pannel on the drivers side that the elongated curve looks better and the stepside pannels looked like it stuck out a boat load like a big hump (hope that made sense). Secondly the quarters that were on it i already had and it was more of a convience factor. Finally i knew i was gonna have to hack them up regardless to widen the, for the larger wheelwells so i didnt wanna buy new fenders just to cut them in half and risk it looking worse. I think widening the wheelwell is a big risk as is and i think the quarters that are on it seem to look alright... great point though the thought did cross my mind.

The before truck was just a little to wild for my tastes, but I like the way you are going now. I think it would look cool with a stock style two tone paint scheme. Keep up the good work!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thanks man! Yea with the leaf springs it just sat a little too tall ha! Where the rear tire sits in the wheelwell thats just a little bit lower than ride height.

In regards to paint sche, i like the idea of the original two tone, it was a light blue and white so im definitely considering that. At the end if the day i want a paint color that is going to be suddle but clean, the truck is obvously radical in its own reich and i dont wanna have a crazy paint job that will take away from the fab work ect. Thanks for the tips man, keep the ideas comming!

Heres kinda what i was refering to in regards to not flowing well (in my opinion ofcorse!) like they do on step sides. IMO it looks like a brick mounted to the bed where as the quarters i have kinda flow out. Idk feel free to agree/disagree.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

This thing is awesome you take some serious detail to make it work. Great Job and I like your style. I enjoy a nice doors light as well

Sweet burb! I guess part of the dually fender on the passenger side will open up with the door? While your at it why not round off the openings to match the front fenders a little more?

I love me some ice cold Colorado Kool Aid!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha thanks man i sure do enjoy my rocky mountain water! I will end up rounding the fenders to match the fronts the only problem is that i need to put the front set of tires lined up with the front quarters to see if i need to do a little trimming.
With the rear passenger dually, it extends into the passender rear door. Just now it will go. Further onto the door. The problem is that it will cover up the door lock/handle so i guess i will buy a set of door poppers and shave the rear door and use a popper for the passenger doors since it comes in a set of 2. Ill still keep my driver door with the handle just incase there were to be a malfunction with the poppers ect. Let me know what ya think!

Hey buddy, sorry for the late response! I’ve been real busy but i actually looked at the fenders and one of my buddies has a 93 dually and the quarters are the same. Only difference is whoever had the fenders prior to me put a lot of body filler in them to close up some of the gaps and body lines. I’ve got a lot done on the truck though and ill post up pics here in the next few days. Started on the tube frame chassis, got the paint all off, sand blasted all the nooks and crannies, and clipped the drip pan on the sides.

As a side note I’m looking to sell the IFS/dana 60 8 lug dually set up as well as the wheels and tires that was on the truck prior to the rockwells. I only say that because you said you wanted a dually suburban ;) Ill pm ya if your interested!

And oh yea thanks for the complement

Nice progress.
Personally, I liked the slammed street dually, but originality and custom definitely dominate this build.

great work! - subscribed

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Haha thanks man, yea to each his own i guess. Theres going to be a lot of people that think it is stupid or gaudy yadda yadda which is fine to me as long as they recognize and appreciate the fab work that went into it thats all i can ask for!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Thanks buddy! Im gonna post up some pics here in a bit to make sure to keep following the progress and any tips and critisism is greatly appreciated alike.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

So ive been meaning to post some more up to date pics but they were all on my phone. I get bad about not taking pics during the work cause i just get cought up in what im doing and documenting it is just an after thought. So heres where im at right now....
1. Clipped the drip pan off the sides and tach welded the roof down.
2. Replaced the rocker box on the drivers side.
3. Lots of little body work here and there filling gaps n such.
4. Building a tube frame chassis. All 2" .120 wall DOM tubing.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

So in order to start building my tube frame chassis i needed a flat, level, and even surface in order to make sure the tube was all 100% square. So one of my friends has a shop where im going to build the chassis so i had to transport my old chassis and tires as well as material to his house...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just tooling around pics with my helpers. Dude in the red shirt owns Mad Hatter Customs, does some legit work and sends a good bit of stuff off to SEMA every year. Old hippy guy with the white shirt is the owner of the shop who is graciously letting me using his space!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Ah now for the chassis design stuff, i just started on saturday so its goin kinda slow but heres where im at as of last night 4/24/12, almost have one half done. An incredible amount of knotching and a huge learning curve!!! Not to mention that at 7 bucks a foot very expensive mistakes!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just more tubing pics. Last pic is a tube knotching software program called tube miter. Allows you to make accurate copes by entering the size of the materials being knotched together and angle... pretty sweet if your a cheap skate and dont want to shell out the cash for a trick tools knotcher!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

More poser tubing pics... The last 2 pics are at 11 hours of fab work.

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Day 2. end pic is at 21 hours...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

oops not that end pic this end pic is at 21 hours! haha

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Just welding on some cheap pipe to make sure the gaps from the knotched copes would be able to be welded with out warping the material real bad...

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Insane work man!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Nothin like a steady diet of WD40 and Coors Original to make the work go by! great looking work!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Started welding the chassis in tonight heres some booger weld pics!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Nice welds!!!!!!!

Re: 540 BBC 68 Burb Dually 54" Boggers on Rocks
 

Its a special combination of jb cold weld, big league chew (original flavor only) and levi garrett... it really holds up nicely. You would a never guessed huh?
