    new engine for the CC Dually

    I think an auto would probably be easier since my truck is already auto. That being said I think a 5 or 6 speed would be fun in this old truck. Really I guess the determining factor will probably be what the donor truck I buy is. If it's an auto I'd like it to be an OD though. Anyone know what...

    new engine for the CC Dually

    When I finally get around to doing the swap I'm just going to buy an entire dodge truck if I go with the cummins and I should have about all I need laying there with the exception of engine mounts and stuff which can be made. With that said would you guys run, the dodge trans behind the cummins...

    new engine for the CC Dually

    As soon as I get the body drop and bags done on the square body I'm going to start on the next part of it. The old lady said either big rig wheels or an engine swap but not both at the same time lol. So I'm leaning toward the engine swap first to make the truck a little easier on the wallet to...

    Hidden Hitch

    I did this on the last truck I built. It was a 95 chevy 1/2 ton. I got the hidden hitch, steel roll pan, and flip down plate bracket all made for my truck. Everything bolted or welded on exactly like it was supposed to. I got everything in one purchase from www.airbagit.com. I have seen some...

    biggest tire that will fit?

    Yep that's correct. The lower you stand the narrower of a tire you'll have to run. Get your truck off the ground, pull a wheel and start measuring. That's about the best way to go about figuring it out. What fits 1 truck might not fit another truck due to the suspension, wheel offset, the...

    Drop kit

    I've found that on average the flip kits I find are a couple hundred bucks. I've found it so much cheaper to just order a set of leaf spring perches and weld them onto the lower side of the axle. About 30 bucks in summit. After that just flip the U bolts and take off. I've done this a couple of...

    Header Recommendation for Lowered Stepside

    Why long tubes?? Why not use Shorty's if your worried about ground clearance issues? If it were me and I just wanted to use long tubes I'd probably just go with a cheap set at least until you drive it around for a few month and make sure your not going to smash an expensive set off the ground.As...

    Subs under seat

    There's not a lot of room under there for air space, and even less for mounting depth. I've never personally tried it. I have however build a box for a customer a few years back that just had to have a 15" sub behind a bench in a newer dodge single cab. He also didn't want his drivers seat...

    my project

    Gunna body drop it or keep it as it?? That thing would look sick layed out with no pinch laying rocker. Body drops sure aren't for everyone though lol. I'm in the middle of doing a stock floor body drop and full air ride on mine now. Sick sled though

    Balancing bias ply

    My little bro just picked up a set of 39.5"x16" bias ply tires for his square and hates the way they are riding and can't find anyone to balance them. Is even trying to balance these monsters like pissing into the wind? I don't know anything about lifted trucks but thought you guys might be able...

    Heater box after body drop...

    It's a pro-air AC and Heater setup for behind my dash. It's pretty old but works great. I think I post more about it on my build thread title "Southern Belle". Enjoy!!

    Need some help

    It's been a while since I've rebuilt a T5 or T56, but if I recall right there is a roll pin you have to drive out to get the top to come off. I think it's about an 1/8" or 1/16" roll pin. All of the ones I rebuilt where when I was building mustangs so the mustang guys might be able to help you...

    Get better MPGs out of 454?????

    I've been working on this same thing with my 1 ton TBI 454. So far I've done headers with 2.5" duals, tune up, and little things like tire pressure. My next thing is going to be gears. Mine has 4:11's in it. If yours has 4:11's and your not pulling much you can get away with something a little...

    Gauge cluster F%#k!

    If you do end up having to run an oil line for a gauge, get the copper line. It's a few dollars more but they can take some abuse. I've had terrible luck with the cheap plastic lines. I think Auto Meter made the last copper oil line I bought. I picked it up in stock at O'rielly's for about 10...

    front steering/ suspension

    If you've adjusted the gear box shaft at all than redo that. If you haven't touched any of that adjustment than I would take it back.

    York Engine Driven Compressor

    Ya I saw that chart some where also. I think someone posted it on the other forum I use, Duallyscene.com. I wish those damned ebay stores would either post pics of the part number or the end shaft. they all just use the same picture of new units for every York auction it seems like. There are...

    York Engine Driven Compressor

    After looking into buying more electric compressors for my air ride I decided it was way to expensive to try and supply 10 gallons of air at 200psi using electric set ups. I started talking to some people using York belt driven compressors and their really happy with them. So I decided to go...

    Heater box after body drop...

    I started talking to an old guy at work today that builds a lot of hot rods. He asked me how my truck was coming along and I told him about this heater/AC box issue. He said well I think I might have a AC/Heater box setup that's all self contained and all goes behind the dash I used in an old...

    Air tank for bag set up

    Mostly because I'm trying to get about 6 to 10 gallons of storage space. The small prefabbed air tanks are cheap but a 5 gallon tank is about 75 bucks plus shipping. I think I know a friend that can hook me up with 3 or 4 propane tanks for next to nothing. That should give me plenty of storage...

    Air tank for bag set up

    wow that is some killer info and answered a lot of questions about using a propane tank. Looks like I can use a couple of propane tanks for a grill and have plenty of pressure capability. That should save me a couple hundred bucks. Thank you

    OBS sub seats in a crew cab??

    Something like it anyway. After I raise the sections of floor for the trans and drive shaft I won't be able to run a bench without raising it up a few inches. If I raise the seats a few inches and loose all of that head room and sit up on the steering column that high I might at well have done a...

    OBS sub seats in a crew cab??

    Well I'm about to begin my stock floor body drop now and I'm most likely going to try to go with 4 buckets. Not sure out of what yet, but I'm going to have to raise my trans tunnel and raise the floor for the driveshaft. Thinking about 4 matching buckets and building 1 huge console that goes...
