Let's see some 73-87 1 Ton Dually Pictures! - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's my 1984 Chevrolet cab and chassis welding truck, original 454 engine and 4 speed manual tranny. The bed was installed when it was new, it's really heavy made out of 1/8" diamond plate and the framework is 3" C-channel. It just hit 100K miles about a month ago, runs good and strong and gets about 11MPG loaded down with the welder and tools. Once I get 'er going faster than 65, I get about 11 gallons to a mile.

Hey farmall, The fuel tanks are stock location and the boxes are only 12" deep. The tires are 255/85 and required 1/2" spacers inside the first wheel and 1" spacers between dualls. Thanks and have a good one.

Hi SKT. Thanks for the compliment. I plan on working this truck, Just not to hard. Building a set of removable gin poles and installing a winch on the bed. Have a good one.

Hey partner, The wheels on this truck are Alcoa 16 x 6. The tires are 255/85. (33 x 10). 1/2 inch spacers on the inside needed for the tire to clear the springpack on a narrow cab / chassis rear and 1.5 inch spacers between the dualls. With this setup there was no need to cut the factory wheel studs. I picked up the hub centric - aluminum spacers on ebay. Fit perfect and seem pretty stout. The truck has no lift and the 33" inch tires fit well. Thanks and good luck.

The white one has 3in drop spindles in the front with cut coil springs and the rear has Belltech drop leaf springs with raised front spring hangers and longer rear spring hangers, also has a mini notch in the frame with helper bags

LOW1TON · 09-27-2012, 12:15 PM

I cant beleive I missed this thread all the duallys are sweet but I am really loving the lowered regular cabs. Keep the photos coming. Oh yeah here are a few shots of my beast.

mopar346 · 09-27-2012, 12:49 PM

How do I follow that, here iis the progress after moving the tubs and building the centering spacer.

Hulk Will Smash · 09-27-2012, 02:13 PM

This thread and the cc sticky thread make me smile. I drive my R30 every day and park it in front of my house so I can look at it out my living room window... And I still end up going and looking through these thread a couple times a week! Gotta be true love huh?

So many great looking trucks in here guys! Keep up the good work!

And don't think I'm not super jealous of you guys who have the space to own more than one of these bit-chin beasts!

Well i think it came out somewhere between 6-8in lift. I have 4in 52's up front with DIYB52's. That combo has been said to be about 6. Rear has a shackle flip but the stock springs are giving it a bad shackle angle and really flatten out in the rear. I have some 6" springs coming to replace them, then just work on height with the shackle. I do need some rear brackets to swap out the shackle flip with since I cut holes in the stock ones.

Anyone have some stock rear/rear leafspring shackle brackets?? must be from 1ton
