81 Crew cab dually 2wd CUMMINS

[Pullin81]

yeah i cant remeber what diamiter they are but there 2600lb a side ....they lift the truck with 70psi at ride hight....and about 82psi right up...

[Pullin81]

well i was messing around with the truck found some seats for it nothing to bulky and the rear seats give a little more leg room....fronts are out of a 95 gmc and the rears are out of a 2003 ext cab.....also found cadi tail lights at the wreckers today for 15bucks a peice....sold....so im gonna get them in there to....

Nice! are they mocked up in the pic? Got better pics?

[Pullin81]

the rear is mounted... and the front i just have a few little things to do.... im going to try and get them finished up tomorrow... the ext cab seats in the rear are quite nice there free up some extra foot room and the newer seats are quite a bit more comfortable then the old 90s trucks

[Captkaos]

Do the rears fold up?

[Pullin81]

no they dont...all i did was pull the upholstry and foam off and took the rear brackets off the old reats then welded up some front brackets to use the original holes in the floor..seats just fold forward

[Pullin81]

well like a few people in a thread about gauge pods for the 73-87 truck...i looked and looked for something and i emailed autometer asking if they had a plan to release something...sadly i got a reply of there isnt enough demand.... anyone else seen the list of what there is "demand" for lol....anyways i since decided to build my own....i purchased a pyro and boost gauge and a guage pod from a friend of mine in town it was out of a 06 D max....time to make it fit.... heres the frist shot of glass over the pods which i trimed to make work....this is my first go a glassing something so hopefuly if it turns out if not ill try again..

its alive i had to hear it run so i pulled the shut down solenoid and jumed the starter to listen to the cummins purrrrrrrr

[cubicdollars]

Sweet , cant wait to see it run

[Pullin81]

well ive been doing some odds n ends on the dually lately... ordered a clutch master cylinder/slave cylinder from south bend clutch... made a plate for the fire wall and welded a bracket on the clutch pedal to make it work...

Also pictured is the cadi light bucket i may get around to next month... currently im repainting a 91 chevy with a 6.2 for another guy.... so i dont get much time for the dually

Also pictured is the throttle bracket  n cable i whipped up..... the cable is a 36" cut to length from lokar worked great....

[Pullin81]

well...its stacked ...got the t pie kit from silverline and the pipes were given to me so i tossed em on.....

[beastie_3]

That looks pretty sweet. People will definitely have to give a second look.

Im just curious, is there a reason the pipes were split in the bed, instead of under the bed? I figure drive line would be the only issue really.

One hole and the you don't have to worry about frame rails I guess
