Getting things ready to start building my dually. I'm keeping this one just clean and simple. Heres the rendering that www.kpconcepts.com did for me. Cant wait to get tearing into this one. Probably gonna start getting things started in the next few weeks, ordered some parts to be built and waiting on extra $ for the few extra things we need for the backhalf

Re: Dually Project

I have ordered parts from Nfamus that are being built and I'm getting ready to order the new bags for the rear as well as getting metal soon so we can get ready to build the new backhalf. Needs interior work as well as paint and body

Re: Dually Project

While you are waiting for that stuff from Nfamus you can check out one of my old rides they built for the previous owner.

Enjoy and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I actually miss having this truck a lot. It was in MiniTruckin a long way back and used to be Chrysler blue to match the frame. You can look it up Rockered Ranger.

Re: Dually Project

yeah thats Tylers old truck, I was with them when they shot it. it was a sweet truck

Re: Dually Project

Yeah I got it off some guy in North East Houston when I still lived in Clear Lake. Then I did a bunch of work to it. The wheels that were on it TSW Mondello's were shot I had planned on dropping a 5.0 in it but then I broke my hand while working on it pretty badly and couldn't work on it for several months. I got better finished what I started and sold it. Stupid me. It rode so good and once I replaced the front bags and redid all the valves/switches and airline it all worked. A guy in Austin picked it up and that's the last I have seen of it.

I will be watching for your progress I am sure the back half will turn out great.

2nd that!!

Re: Dually Project

Looking good. What wheels are those, look like direct bolt on, custom cut and shaved 19.5/19s or 22.5/22s?

Keeping with those wheels or swapping to something to compliment the new steering wheel?

Would match a set of AF Unions nicely or the 056 Eagle 20s.

Re: Dually Project

They are direct bolt on Brentz Wheels. I am keeping these wheels for now. I got too good of a deal on the steering wheel, so im gonna run it for now.

Re: Dually Project

Got my new Firestone 3200lbs bags in for the rear and took all the valves off and cleaned them as well as cleaned up the compressors. Also took the front bumper off, getting everything ready to start redoing the front suspension. Picked up the metal to start building the new back-half as well.

Re: Dually Project

It's been a while any updates on it?:metal:

Re: Dually Project

I know I have been MIA for awhile. I lost my job and got a new one and got things paid off. Now the dually is getting work done.

Re: Dually Project

Gonna start building the new frame rails I believe today and probably get them welded up this evening. I'll keep yall posted. Im only in town for a week so I'm trying to get as much done as possible.

Re: Dually Project

The before pic is of the work done by a "professional shop" before I got the truck, the after is by my buddy in his garage

Re: Dually Project

Awesome! Can't wait to see it all finished!

Re: Dually Project

Much better on the notch, looks good. Do you have plans to fishplate the joints? Personally I would draw it up in CAD and have one big fish plate cut on a laser to plate the notch in one piece.

Re: Dually Project

Hey guys, I'm the guy doing the work for Chad on his dually. The backhalf is still in the beginning stages, it still needs fishplates, box triangle gussets and crossmembers. It's going to be a very reliable daily hauler when it's finished.

Re: Dually Project

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, been swamped at work. The suspension is done and got a new front clip. Metal for the inside of the bed is ordered so we can start building that and also the billet grill will be here next week. Then off to the body shop to finish all the body work and prime it. Should have it all together and primed for LST
