It may be the same mental illness that makes a guy want to make a C30 lay frame! jk |
Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
lol I really considered leaving it a longhorn but I didn't want the hassle of having a special set up made for the rear. Plus as you already know I want to find a bed to match the cab and theres no way thats gonna pop up in a longhorn! lol

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
One thing that is interesting to me is that a Longhorn bed fits the cab-to-axle and WB of a 31003 cab & chassis. I always thought a reg 8' bed fit them, or at least fit the cab-to-axle dimension, maybe requiring shortening the rear frame extensions. Where is the extra length in a Longhorn bed? Is the WB the same on a C20 as a C20 LH?
BTW--my .02 on the trans choice. I have tons of miles in 5-speed manual Chevy 2500 and 3500 trucks, both with LT and LS engines (i guess that would be a NV3500). I love that combo. In my current one, which is a heavier truck (most of mine have been reg cab, this is an ext), it has stock (smallish diam)tires, and a less-than-original-strength 100K mile 5.7---on flat ground I take off in second, but if I have to use first, it's smooth and easy. Not like the old granny-gear first gears. I think with the 292, and a 30+" tire, and a 3.73 or 3.90 R&P (maybe 4.11); you would have a sweet package. JK |
Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Thanks for the input on the Nv3500. I believe thats the route I will go. As far as the longhorn bed the extra 6" is in the front of the bed. A c20 is 127" wheel base and a long horn is 133", same as a cab and chassis.

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
I have been watching for this for a while, I checked around OKC CL but no Blue long beds at the moment. I like the plan you have for this one buddy!!
BUT crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab,crew cab, crew cab. The lady would enjoy a crew cab, just sayin for the lady's sake :smoke: Crew cab! |

I found you a pre-patina'd bed kit! Still the wrong color tho!
|
Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Dang that looks perfect!! If it was only a little darker.
No thats a reg long bed. I plan to run the markers in the step side fenders. That pic is a board members truck that someone photo shopped to lay frame. |

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

Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Needs a little bigger wheel and some patina! ;)
|
Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
That front wheel cracks me up. It looks out of place or something.
|
Re: She's a ton of fun (dually build on air)
Looks like he reversed the rear fenders too.
