New to this Scene...

But not custom cars and trucks.

Hey everyone, i'm from Arlington Tx and hopefully by this time tomorrow, i'll have my first Dually.
I've wanted one for a very long time, and now that I have a minitruck to tow, it all makes sense. At least enough to get the old lady to go along with the purchase.

I'm hoping to get a 98 Chevy crew cab, red, 454, 5 spd. bout 80k on the clock.
I don't have any pics readily available, but I guess they don't belong in here anyway right?

I will post a pic of my Mini... its a 71 Toyota Hilux.



I know a few of the members on here from other forums, and i look forward to asking a lot of questions. Just not about machining Semi's down...

welcoem to the site... nice lil toyo you go there... congrats on the dually also....with the wheels all we get to know is its a monkey and a dull butter knife from what lockone on here tells us on how to machine the semi's LOL

Sweet Toyota! Welcome to the site man, are you on YotaScene.com?

Thanks for the welcome!


No i'm not on Yotascene. I'm on a few other forums.

DFWminis.com
toyotaminis.com
pwc.com

But I stay on DFWminis 90% of the time.


I looked at that dually today.... I don't think i'm going to get it.

And heres why...



here are some pics of the bad...

Rocker pinch missing...



Weird hood gap on Passenger side.


And heres the ad so you can see the rest.

Well i'm back on the hunt,

I found a 05 chevy that looked like a good fit, I called on it and the guy told me that the last person to test drive it blew the head gasket!

So the cost of fixing the head gasket will be tacked on to the truck, which will put it over my threashold of pain.

Looks like i'll be towing my Yota to RA with my half ton.... hope it makes it!

Anyone have any suggestions of good place to look for a dually?

Like your wheels!

Welcome to the site man.... Nice mini
