Macs' last ride

[Racker]

Well here is the build tread of my 74 crew cab dually that I'm building in memory of my dad. As long as I could remember, my dad always had a square body in the family. Last one he had was a cab and chassis with a 12' service bed, he wouldn't let me bring it to Wyoming from Washington, so I bought this one for the build.

As far as i can tell, this one started life on the Air Force base in Cheyenne, Wy. , then moved to Douglas,Wy. as a rescue rig some time in the 90's. After that, it headed to a really small town, Glendo, Wy., as their rescue rig up until '02. At that time it sat around collecting dust and wasting away.

A buddy of mine bought it at auction for $500.00 and was going to scrap it out. Then he remembered that I was looking for one and gave me a call.Long story short, I bought it for what he paid. It sat in the my shop yard for a couple years as i was building my rock crawler.

Finally had time to mess with it now, so here goes. Ended up changing intake and carb since the original carb was shot, added a bed from a old project the boss had laying around and started driving it as a DD.

Here are a couple pictures really quick. First one is fresh out of the back yard and the other is what she looks like today.





Will add more as time is available for but for now I don't have any complaints for a $500.00 truck and about $300.00 added to it at this point.
