I could do one but there wouldn't be much to it. I'll basically do the same stuff I did to the 74 before it: drop, interior/exterior trim pieces, interior/exterior clean-up, some bumpers, & exhaust.

It's a mobile tool-box

jasonhall · 10-23-2010, 05:51 PM

Thats ok. I just like to day dream about owning one.. I have to convince the wife a dually would be practical for a daily driver.

Alan's Classic · 10-23-2010, 08:30 PM

Nice Dually!!! It's even in my favorite color.

And your point?

It doesn't have to be a full resto to start a build thread.
Just post lots of pics and we will all be happy!!
Take us on the journey with you

I guess it's time for another update. I'm really, actually, no bs-ing, closer to getting it PC'd.

I got off work yesterday & spent the day re-stripping the rails & various x-members to try & get any residual grinding gouges out so that when sand-blasted, everything has a nice, smooth finish for the PC. About 3/4 through stripping the pass side frame rail, my DA took a crap. I've done this drill before (get 6hrs non-stop work time but spend most of it chasing parts/tools) & it was frustrating so I kept it going forward....

The chassis is no longer a chassis. I had that sucker 100% apart in a little over an hour (working solo). The rails & rear end housing are still in the shop (need to finish that pass side rail) but everything else was loaded into the dually & is waiting for the trip Monday to the PC shop.

I hope to convince 'her' of the need to allow some late-night shop time tonight so I can get things loaded first thing tomorrow am.

Nice dually SCOTI!

Will we see it towing your '64 to KS next year?

**N2TRUX** · 11-08-2010, 10:33 AM

Glad to hear it Scoti. Lets see some shiny stuff...

aggie91 · 11-08-2010, 02:23 PM

Sounds like a lot of progress just working solo. Looking forward to seeing it back from the coater.

SCOTI · 11-09-2010, 02:25 AM

Just got home from the shop.

Both the main rails are void of gouges, rust-pits, & production scars. Everything has a nice consistent 60 grit finish so the rails should look fairly smooth after blasting & color.

Tomorrow morning, I'll hook up the trailer & head back to the shop to load them up (I already have all the other parts & x-members @ the house). After everything is in the same place, I'll take an inventory to make sure nothing was over-looked. If the parts match my 'list', I'll stop by 2 different PC shops for quotes. Price pending, I'll leave the parts @ one of them.

I would put up some pics but my computer crashed & I'm using a borrowed laptop. Hopefully by the time the parts are done, I'll be able to start loading up some pics again.

**67cheby** · 11-09-2010, 10:27 AM

cant wait to see it , i am hopefully about 1 month away from doing this myself, all of my rear suspension is done already, so it will just be the main frame rails and the front suspension, anyway i am excited for you !!

SCOTI · 11-09-2010, 08:10 PM

And, poof . . .... It's all gone!

**N2TRUX** · 11-10-2010, 11:24 AM

Houston, we have lift off...

watahyahknow · 11-12-2010, 05:34 AM

there these backupcams out there mounted in the numberplatesuround , havent checked prices lately but they where reasonably priced i might be a solution to the backup problem if you can get it either to look underneat the trailer or between the trailer and the car on top of it

Jonboy · 11-12-2010, 11:29 AM

LS swap!!

The '64 is coming along great. How long until the parts are back?

I'm doing the dually like my other 'tow-trucks' before it. Spindles & cut a coil up front w/flip kit & driveway built AOL set-up. Think budget.... I would love to do Ride Techs Air bar set-up but can't justify the coin for the amount of drop (if I could even find that amount of coin).

I've looked for suspension info on that HHR shop dually but have only found a few pics. Anybody know if any info on specifics are online?

Hills dually I think has the RideTech AirBar installed with a custom step notch.
It also has the "Cab and Chassis" narrow rearend.
You might shoot member Cheese a PM and see if he can get you some more info.
Have you also become a member over at www.duallyscene.com?
Lots of cool trucks, and info over there.

I'll get some today. It's basically the same 'ole pics.... now w/a splash of color vs. bare metal (black is a color).

**67cheby** · 11-13-2010, 11:36 AM

"basically the same pics with a little color"........we dont care , that is like your girlfriend saying she doesnt want to undress in front of you ..cause she is feeling a little FAT..... WE DONT REALLY CAR WE JUST WANT TO SEE UM !!
