Lowered 78 SC Dually
 

Nothing really to see here, just a new daily beater :metal:

I asked the seller "Just how big is the "Cujo"
that took a bite out of that rear fender" :eek:

He said previous owner (Farmer)
had a real mean Hay Trailer :lol:

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Nice. So break out the camera and lets see more of the ole girl.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Love all the standard cab duallys.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Nice score! +1 to more pictures too

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

I'll get more this weekend, she's not a beauty queen,
has rust, dents, etc... Sweet looking rig from say 50'

(Yup, that's 5X the normal 10' paint job most say):lol:

*Running boards gotta go, I can't even rack her. :dohh:
(Removing the toolbox, bent rear bumper, and hitch)

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Nice! I've been looking for one, but hard to find in good shape at a decent price....

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

This is probably neither. :lol: I have missed out on so many I
lost count. Probably overpaid a little, but all the suspension
and the tires are only 6 months old. So some of it done. ;)

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Any idea what the suspension setup is?

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Yes, sorry had to contact the guy that did work :lol:

(Previous owner had no clue, he just paid for it)

Front is 3” Street Edge (Belltech) drop spindles.
Cut 1 1/2 coils off springs. Should be total of 6”

Rear is Tinworks’s kit. C-notch and then flip kit.
Should be 8” probably more like around 9-10"

*It actually sits level, Square wheel openings
throw off your eye making the rear look lower.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Updated pic's with a few personal touches made. :metal:

*Running boards and toolbox now gone, tire fixed,
pass mirror fixed, glass cleaned, waiting on some
LED bulbs for all the markers and the Dash lights.

Next moving under the hood and fix a few issues.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Out of curiosity, were you provided any specs or info on how the drop was achieved?

Looking much better already!

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Yes, 2 replies above yours I detailed how it was lowered.

Thanks, have a new (used) set of hips coming for it, the
pass rear was attacked by Hay trailer. It's destroyed :lol:

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Sounds like you think it looks a little rough, but I guarantee you, it's already pretty cool looking.

I will say, it appears that you already have a "decent" black dually...

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

LOL, Yeah I wanted something kinda rough for those
inconsiderates at Walmart, Lowe's, etc....... This was
just a hair rougher than expected. (2.5 hours ea way
and left out a few picture angles) However, I am real
happy with it, just need to fix a few minor things and
start driving the wheels off of her. (Bought it to daily)

Only had "Kodiak" in the background since Halloween,
been wanting one forever. (2007, Dirtymax, Allison, it
had just a hair under 40,000 miles when I picked up)
I drive it to work on Friday's, or on weekends. She is
a big girl for sure, but handles very well. I just don't
drive it daily due to MPG, + parts becoming obsolete.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Pretty sad that a 18 year old vehicle is more obsolete than a 40+ year old vehicle. This is why I love squarebodies! Thanks for the suspension info!

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Yes it is, the Duramax/Allison stuff is NOT an issue,
it's the Kodiak specific parts that are a nightmare.

Your most welcome :metal:

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Love doing brake work. (Said no one ever that wasn't paid) :lol:

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Exhausted :lol:

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Nice, although the cows might be bothered by the sound. :D

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

I love these trucks, but the wide hips scare me for around town.

It looks like you got a very nice truck.

Any future plans for the truck?

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Not really, just a cool Farm/Shop truck. Not nice enough to restore.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

SOLD :whine:

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

About time someone bought it. Fairly priced.

Re: Lowered 79 SC Dually
 

Oh no. Thought you were just getting started.
