Daves dually

Good buddy from KS brought me his dually. Dave said the truck swayed from side to side and the upper bag brackets are bending, the truck has been bagged for about 10 years so its just time to replace some things. The truck currently has a 50/50 link and tubular BOA bridge. Ill be doing a foward wishbone and redoing the bridge to incorperate a gooseneck mount.



And the bed may be a lil crooked...

Looked good laid out but damn look at the bed.

Gonna grab some 1/4'' plate at the yard tomorrow and finish it up. The bag mounts and gusseting should look interesting :mrgreen: Dave also gave me the go ahead to take it to Slamily this weekend so swing by the booth and see it.

looks good already, damn you move quick

Done

And since i had a wedge sitting there i just had to.

that would be a badass pic with some badass cars loaded up on the trailer!!

We had time to load up 3 before he came over tonight, just didnt feel like doing it for a joke.

that sucks...work still looked good tho

that looks sic man. and damn those are some awesome welds.

that bridge looks awesome! Nice work

So its back, ive been holding off on updates since we will be taking it to tex mex. This pic is from tuesday....

Ontop of all the bed sheetmetal we ditched the nitrogen for an 8gal and dual 480s. Were also relocating the front valves, replacing the bags with newer ones, adding trainhorns, building a 50gal fuel cell that will go in the "toolbox" alonng with a relocated battery. Also on the list is replacing the bottom of the frame from all the dragging damage, upgraded wiring for the valves, rebuilt throttle body with 90lb injectors, smoothed gooseneck bridge w/something special planned, and mabey some interior work too.
Gonna try to have the sheetmetal ready for SteveO to work his majic and shoot this weekend.

sick man! damn wish you guys where gonna roll down to LOATP... but good work man..

Got over some major hurdles today. The bed is finally done and in sealer, fuel cell is built and coated inside and out, almost all the line is ran and its nearly ready to fire up again.

Heres the toolbox area

I decided to do something with the inner fender sides, instead of a plain side panel i sectioned 88-98 chevy front fender openings and grafted them in, they hug the notch quite nice.

Heres the monster fuel cell

And a pek at what were doing with the bridge

At this point im effin exhausted, ive slept at the shop numerous times this past week and im just ready to be headed down the hiway an inch off the ground with my feet out the window, roof wide open, 5FDP blastin with 4 good friends along for the ride. And speaking of friends i really want to thank the guys for busting ass with me on this. Steve O and AJ slaved for 2 days with me sanding mud and getting the bed ready to spray. Pippin has been doing the wiring so it doesnt burn to the ground, Mitch shot the sealer, and andrew has done plenty of smack talking. Without them this thing wouldnt be going to texas, so thank all of you guys.
Tomorrow the bed should go on, fuel cell mounted and plumed, battery mounted, front airlines finished, air system tested, and dave should have a day to test&tune it before we leave. Short of a catastrophic unforseen problem we should be good to go.

looks good

damn looks pretty clean now!
