I recently purchased a 1988 v30 crew cab dually that was converted to a carbed big block. I've always been a big fan of these trucks but have never owned one.

I'm having a lot of conflict with what I want to do with it though. I'd really like to make it a crew short SRW truck. I have two axles ready to go in, lockers gears crossover steering and all. Thinking about a small 4" lift and some military style 37's on the h1 wheels I have. part of me says leave it dually...

Would like to hear yalls thoughts.
Here's the rig...

Keep it a dually and make it work

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

I would keep it a dually, they're just so much harder to find especially a crew cab 4x4. Just find you some 16.5 dually wheels to fit the 37" hummer tires then put the 4" lift on it and trim the front fenders to fit like johnnypop's trucks. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...2&postcount=24

I may be a little biased as well... since that's what I'm gonna do with my truck.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs

Celebrity may be right. Going back and looking at it, they don't look so over-sized in relation to the parking lights like Caprice lights.
