Project Dually Pics

Well, I have been working on this truck here and there since last fall, the guy hasn't been in a big hurry and is kinda a budget job. So here is a few pics of it.

New brakes, ball joints, front susp bushings, new brake lines, sandblasted/painted frame, Fixed rust on the rocker, Cut out roof rust/repaired, new interior, guages, 4" turbo back with Aero turbine Muffler, new tires, pump tuned, O.D kit, Cold air kit, kdp tabbed and I think thats it, all I can remember at the moment. Original paint.

well, the door pannels were cleaned really good and painted with the trim paint. The carpet on the side is original. The flooring I bought from Summit. It is made by nifty. It fit real nice too. It is grey, I ordered charcoal first and didn't like it in there, and It was for a 4wd But I might put that in my personal truck. I took the seat to a guy locally that does that stuff, he used new seat foam and everything. So maybe check with ur local upholstry shop. The stock looking fabric was still available he said.

I just cleaned/degreased the motor really good and painted it with a high temp semi flat paint, I'm not sure how long it will last. Like I stated, it was kinda a budget job. Im sure it will bur off the manifold, but I think all the rest on the turbo and stuff will hold up good.

Wow,
That is almost what my truck looked like when I bought it back in 1999 except mine is a 1991.
My paint was taken down to the metal and repainted with Dark Metallic Quartz.

You did a great job.
Jim
