BUY IT! that's a good deal.....

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

I'd love to have it but I've already got a c30....and a whole bunch of other projects..

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

I bought it Saturday and drove it 4 hours home.

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

Congrats! Cool old truck. Just picked up a square bodied dually myself. Any special or outrageous plans for it?

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

Nice! I've got a few plans, I'm leaning hard on a 12 valve Cummins swap, lowering it some or maybe air suspension, 22" wheels. Id like to do some interior stuff but I'm not sure what yet. I don't know if I want to swap in some newer style seats or get the current ones redone. I think it will be cool to have a small audio system and a fold down tv/DVD player from the headliner for my girls to watch when we cruise.
I'm planning on making this truck like I want and keeping it the rest of my days.

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

Sounds pretty cool. My brother is an ace diesel tech and has already been after me BAD about doing the Cummins swap. I've had the truck a month haha. I think I'm staying with later OE style wheels and going static drop with a 6.0 LS. They sure do look mean when they're close to the ground!

congrats bowtie on the purchase...glad it went to a good home. ..and thanks for the follow up..a lot of craigslist ads get posted on here but you don't see many that get bought by a member..sounds like a good plan..
I thought long and hard on doing a duramax swap in mine but wound up going lq9 6.0 due to the extreme cost of diesel engines..

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

Congratulations... sounds like you have a good plan for the old truck.

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

This is true. Diesel engine is expensive. Engines alone around here are $1500 and up. Then a trans, controller, and other parts. I'm only thinking Diesel for the power and torque and the fuel mileage. Knocking down 20-24 mpg in that big truck will be nice!

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting with the 6.0? My dad said that's what I should do since I know more about LS engines and I can work on them and stuff. I have a 01 Camaro SS with a built 410 iron block stroker making 600hp to the crank and 520 to the tires. So I know my way around ls engines pretty good.

Re: dually crew on craigs
 

that camaro sounds like a fun ride...my truck gets around 16mpgs if I drive it normal (hard to do)..it dynoed at 345hp and 365 torque ...I've got anv4500 and 4.10 gears...if ida found a diessl for 1500 I would have given it more thought...the d-maxs I looked at were north of 6gs..closer to 10k for some...I regularly pull a loaded trailer that grosses at 9000lbs..handles it well..
