Hey new to the board. I'm a regular on 67-72chevytrucks.com and somebody mentioned this site.
Check out my '72 3door build here:



My old shop truck was a '92 dually crew bagged and SFBD'd:

it's currently getting a 99 escalade clip and 19's.

This one I didn't build but did some refeshing and updated a few things on. Talk about Old SKool this one was originally completed back in the '90's before you could buy air off the shelf:

Any way I just picked up an '89 GMC 3500 bonus cab dually crew that will be SFBD'd, and bagged. It is a one owner truck with a roll down back window and the big pimpin wood grain and 747 style over head console. Came with 2 books full of all the service records including all new AC with 134 conv., new trans, all new PS and hydroBoost although one of the lines has a pinhole.

I'll try to get pics of it soon.
anyway looking for lots of cool dually info and maybe some parts.

Josh

I have a set of plates/bags/cups from my original plans on my 72 before I added the dropmember that will work in the dually. Looking for some 3" spindles and then good up front.

For the rear I have another set of bags also originally for my 72 but should be beefy enough for the dually. Plans are to build my own 2 link off the stock spring hangers, raising them up if necessary. I have the parts to build my own watts lying around and a 2x4 1/4 wall ( ya beefier than needed, I know) notch that I made for something and never used.
I have a York but need brackets for BBC and a serp. pully. Also have Nitrogen set-up and a few DC comps laying around so I should be able to get down with out a lot off out-of-pocket.

Both rear fenders have some issues. Pass side actually missing a chunk I can put my fist through. Not sure if I'll repair or replace. Steps and brush guard are first to go.

The truck was a one owner find with 116k miles on it. I have 2 binders full of all maint. receipts for it including new trans w/ shift kit, AC converted to 134a, ALL new PS including pump, gearbox, and hydroboost, it has a bucket bench up front and a fold out bed rear seat and an electric roll down rear window. Stockland shell is booted to the cab.

I'll start a project thread as soon as I get rolling on this. Thanks for everybody's comments/input,
Josh
