How's it going, my names jake. Im new to the dually world per say. Eventhough my dually isn't a true dually....but its still a dually to me! I just got and 83 chevy c30 with a 350. Traded my lifted ranger for it, an here i am! So anyway Im a diehard ford guy all day long. My dad was a diehard chevy guy. He past away when i was younger and i feel like its about time to build a truck for him. He was a mechanic for about 20+ years. I learned most everything i know from him, He loved wrenching but thats what killed him. Miss him dearly so now its my turn to repay all the knowledge he shared with me and all he did for me! Name of the project is "This ones for you!"

Ok enough rambling here's a little about the truck
83 c30 2wd
350 v8
edelbrock 600 carb
edelbrock intake
edelbrock valve covers
mild crane cam
roller rockers
auto trans
true dual exhaust, flomaster 40's
.....some other misc stuff im forgetting

On to some pics, the dually and my 01 f250 psd

Hey bud im josh. Looks like you got a solid foundation to build a nice truck! What makes it not a true dually? If its got 4 back tires it good enough for me. For christ sakes look at my"dually" its actualy a suburban!

SO how does it feel to own a REAL truck? Hahaha.
Truck has a odd setup but I know where one is that looks like that, shallow wheels all around. Anybody know what the deal is on that?

Just wait till you get that old Chevy goin, bet that ford starts setting alot. But im sure when you're pulling the Chevy around with the Stroke the jokes will be plenty.

I have to admit- i drive my truck a couple times a week, just cuz it is fun to me. My kids love it too!

BTW- Nice 2fitty. I had a 01 7.3L 4door 2wd. I still miss it sometimes.
