A member on here has a father that has one... I can't rememmber who it is!!! Its gold with stacks.

 

Now that is rare! I cant recall ever seeing one! I have one guy within 20 miles of me in Ranson WV who did 2 conversions. One on a 84-85ish crew cab long bed that he made into a 4wd Cummins truck with a 518. It looks really good with a burgandy /sand/ burgandy paint job. And 1991 Ramcharger ,4wd with a auto, and the same colors but with the tan on the lower body side. Amazingly his wife drives both on a daily basis! He did an awesome job on both! I give it to all you conversion guy's! You take individuallity one step furthur! Keep em coming! Maybe I will come accross one I can buy/afford already done!

 

As far as I know all the 4x4 were short beds. The long beds and dually were all 2wd. You have to build it.


PapeCAT They are twentys with a 275-65-20 Goodyear wrangler ATS E rated.stock studs. I wish they had a better offset to stick out a little.

 

I wrestled doing that with mine. I had a w350 club wit the GOOD Dana 60 front axle, however, I use my truck for towing 90% of the time, and fuel economy was my first priority. It was a REAL tough decision though. And the Club is long gone.
Thanks for the kind words guys!

 

Thunderhog, I have an 85 crew i bought from a guy in Orem,UT in sept. of 99 i converted it to a 12 v about 3/4 years ago. Now it's going back into the shop for a newer 12v, updated wiring,tilt,cruise,fresh a/c clean up frame insulate cab from noise new carpet and seats if i can find some decent one's, repaint and oh i didn't mention it's a short bed that i am turning into a dually. I believe it should look kinda cool when i get done... at least i hope it will It's my toy,daily driver and tow rig for my travel trailer. Bye the way yours is pretty rude looking also....Augie

 

Your right. Thats what I meant. Has anyone ever built one on here?

 

Please post pics! I have always wanted a crew cab, 5spd, 4x4, cummins, long bed dually! I never understood why Dodge never made them available in long bed 4x4 versions! Chebby made them available! I am not sure about fords! But deffinitly cool! All IMOP, of corse!

 

I will post pic's when i get started on my upgrade's. Right now i'm trying to locate fenders for the dually. Me and a friend just leased a 4,000 sq.ft. shop so i'll be hopefully starting my work in the next couple of weeks. I have big plans but my budget is what will keep me in line. I have a Dana 70 dually with 3:54 and posi sitting in the bed right now just begging me to put it under the truck.I think i have fenders located in South Carolina and i'm waiting to hear back from the guy who has them so i can go pick them up.

 

Thank you! It was a long time coming, and worth every minute. I have said it before, I would not trade it for a brand new one!

 

I think these trucks just look, well, like trucks! I was never a fan of the 94 and up trucks, however, the 09's look nice. My spring project is Carpet and a ton of insulation!

 

Had to post a pic of this 82 I just bought.
92 cummins with 5spd. Plans are to put back a longbox and detune the pump a bit. Right now it smokes just a weeeee bit

 

Nice Rig, Bob! LOVE the O.D. Green! I think the flatbed is COOL! I was going to convert a 1ton 4WD Club I had and make it a flat bed, but the rock crawler guys down here in Commiefornia pay stoopid money for the Axles! Its gone now, RIP.

 

Thanks for the compliment Thunderhog.I know that thoses "little" dana axles go for 1200-1500 clams up here.
I'd love to keep the look of the flatdeck as well but the Dually falls into a whole different set of rules in Ontario Canada. It's considered a commercial platform even if it's for personal use. So to keep the powers at bay it's going back to 250 status

 

Yeah, those guys kept knocking on my door, "wanna sell that old truck" I finally caved. Now I have a charger and a cuda in the driveway and I had to put covers on them and disgiuse them. Got tired of the "Wanna seel those old cars"

 

Sweet...I have a bunch of old Mopes myself...Luckily I have them inside out of prying eyes!
