Saw BDDiesels truck at the big Mission BC fathers day show this last weekend. Nice looking rig!!

 

Got some tires mounted today. Still don't have my dually adapters for the front yet but one thing at a time. Thanks for the compliments!

 

great work!!!

 

truck looks great! what tire and rim size is that in the front? great job

 

thanks cmcr0703! the tires are 255/100/r16. 36" tall and 9" wide. the fronts are just temporary...."ford" rims untill my order arrives for the front 1 ton adapters then I will get the front tires switched to the 1 ton wheels. I also ordered 1 1/2 " steel spacers, not aluminum.. with 5/8s studs for the rears as there just a few cm's away from touching each other as it is right now which is no good. the tires are a Michelin xzl clone by a overseas company called yellowsea. I'm actually very impressed with them. there better on the road than my real xzl tires which costed a hell of a lot more. the tires are for sale in Vancouver under Vancouver Craigslist title "xzl clone"

 

Great looking truck. Love those tires tall and skinny

 

Want to sell it??

 

BD......love the truck, I love the bird bath hoods.

I also did a dually conversion on a W250 and had trouble finding the
front adaptors, but now it has grown on me and I like it better with SRW
fronts.

Looks sweet, What brand are the front tires? They look good and are they a decent price

 

Nevermind should've read further

 

I'm in awe of your truck. I have a '78 D300 crew cab that will get an intercooled Cummins someday. My questions concern the grill, the intercooler, and the a/c condenser. How did you make them fit? Everything I've ever read says it can't be done because it's too tight. Is it really as simple as cutting and welding the headlight buckets to mate with the intercooled core support?

 

That is so sick!!!!

 

Did you get the dually spacers mounted ? I'm anxious to see the Truck all set up.

 

Personally I prefer the single front end better. I've never liked dually rims on the front. How well did the box line up with the cab? It is the 93 cab and a 74 box correct? I know of a few older boxes around here but I didn't know if the body lines would match

 

Most impressive, very nice
