it's not mine till later this week but unofficially it's mine!
just picked up a '96 CTD 3500 Dually 5sp. i love it and can't wait to put it to good use! i'm addicted already!!
here are some pics




the visor is comming off and i'm looking at 19.5s or 22.5s. really haven't decided.

I, myself, am kinda keepin' an eye open for a low mileage '98 or '99 long box with a hand shaker right now to replace my gas job. I'd like a new CTD, but after buying a house, I don't think I could afford it. Especially accessories - I would have those from my current truck that will fit.

I think I have to settle for a 2500. I don't think they made a 3500 SRW in those years. Anyone know of any of one of them animals (2500 or 3500) out there - checked the classifieds - nothing but slushboxes.

 

Congrats. Nice lookin truck. You can't go wrong with a 96.

 

nautique21,

Sharp looking dually! Very nice in black as-is. I would agree with the visor delete option, while it may help in some sun situations, it's terrible for aerodynamics and just seems unneeded. No offense to anyone who has one - just not my thing!

 

looks just like my 99. That soot pipe is cool. I guess you'll make good use of it haha Let us know what you wind up with for wheel spacers if you go to big tires.

 

Good choice!!

best of luck! shes a beaut!! Good year too.. but what can i say.. i might be biased....

thanks guys.
i'll keep you posed on the wheel spacers. it's lookin like i'm going to go with 2" spacers to fit 315/70s. that should make things a little nicer having 35s w/ 4:10s. i'll be putting on longer control arms and a leveling kit too. and... stacks sometime.........

 

well i would keep the visor maybe i am biasd to them because i have one but i think they look pretty sweet

 

sweet rig

 

looks slick bro! Something about a black CTD dually! Looks like it is in great shape too.....bomb plans?

 

i can't help it! it'll probably stay the way it is for a while as far as the engine goes. it's got a ton of power. when i do it i'll just opt for twins. go big or go home!
