Amazing... I would have never guessed a 327 under the hood though...

Put a cummins 4bt and a brownie trans in and have a real wonder...at the same time, I probably wouldnt change anything on it for nostalgia sake.

I asked mar-K for black powdercoated strips but they only make them for older stepsides I think...

$6K is a very very good price for that rig. Did you build it then?

Wow! That makes it even more cool! So you didn't have to modify the rear axle? I was wonderin how you made a dual wheel setup fit under with no exterior fenders. How bout the wheel base? Did you have to stretch the frame?

All cab chassis rear ends are like that.
And being a 133 inch wheel base one ton, all he had todo was widen the wheel tubs and place bed mounts on the frame

First of all, Unbelievable Truck I've never really liked the entire dullie idea, mainly because of the outward fenders, this is ingeneous! Great work

Did/does the truck have any rust? Did you get the underdash a/c installed? Looking for a starter truck for my son. Do you have any pictures of the chassis or under the hood? Any other pictures would be great. Send to robhartley@aol.com. I know you have a set of Buddy Buckets set back for it...... Thanks,
