Hey everybody!
I'm Jason and I have a dually, finally! It's a little rough, but for $1200, I don't think I got hurt.
It's a 77 GMC Grande Sierra with a 454 and turbo 400. Factory A/C that still works and factory cruise that still works. Only 101,000 miles, and I'm the third owner.
I found it on Craigslist, listed under farm truck. The previous owner used it to pull a 32 foot trailer with two outlaw sprint cars. The original owner pulled a camper.
When I went to look at it, it was sitting on top of a hill, in a field, about a mile off of the nearest "improved" road in Highland County, VA.
She turned out to be solid, smooth, and everything you could want in a tow rig, so I gave the owner a wad of cash, called the insurance company, turned the old tags over, wrote farm use on them with a marker , and drove her 65 miles home!
Now what? Who knows? Definately going to lower the "bus". After that, maybe some paint, stereo, 8-71 blower...

I'm gonna try to put some pics up here, let's see how it works.
Don't have many pics of it. I'll get some more soon.
By the way, the Ford dually is for sale. 460, 5 speed. Power everything. Needs a little work, but a solid truck.
