Hey Everyone!
I've been browsing around here forever and I can now say that I am officially a member of the dually family! Here she is!
1997 Chevy 3500
454 7.4L
167,000 miles

I traded my 96 chevy 1500 ext. cab for this nice looking gem. Inside is incredibly clean. I have to do some minor front end work such as ball joints, alignment, etc but this baby will pull my fifth wheel easily! Let me know what ya think!

Thats a good looking rig you got there. Looks pretty clean. What are the plans for it?

Thanks!
It will sit most of the time to be honest. My wife and I just purchased a used fifth wheel a few weeks ago and will use this truck to take the kiddos camping this summer here in Cali. Runs great. Just needs some minor tlc.

Anything 10 and up and I will be a happy camper. This isn't going to be a daily driver at all but I'm going to do some stuff to try and "help" the situation.

Thanks man... Thats why I like the 6.5... when done right you can roast the tires and still get around 20MPGs.
I drive mine every day.

X2,, I've drove my 6.5 everyday for the last 3 years, it averages 18~22 mpg and pulls anything I want with ease
