Hi names Dru and just picked up an 84 king cab long box dually. it's got a 350 SBC and a turbo 400 trans and one hell of a spring set up in the rear (ex tow truck with wheel lift and wrecker) nothing too fancey right now but would love to make it something. don't really see alot of dualies up here done maby one or two here and there.I don't want it to be wild but i want it to be my own and something i like.i want to lower it bags or spindles/shakles etc... i'm not sure witch is better. I know i still want to be able to tow with this truck when it's dropped.

first on my to do list is.
-pull motor and trans and clean the hell out of the engin bay and motor and trans.
-tint
-re wire everyhting it's all hacked from having the tow gear pulled out
-drop it
-remove all the old bracing for the wheel lift
-91 suburban front clip
-big rig rims.

let me know what you guys think and some options! thanks.
Dru
