Ok, thought Id give a little update. The new dually runs and drives like a dream. The old grill and tailgate were in bad shape so I upgraded them. I am going to try to get this ones body in shape pretty quick so I can get it painted. It wont be a perfect show truck, but I want it to be more of a unique hauler.

Grille before:


After:(phantom grille) Kinda hard to see.


Tailgate before:


Tailgate after: (keepsake from original dually)




Will try to get the three together for a family photo, lol. This has rollercoastered to more than what I orignially planned.  Thanks for all the comments everyone. I cant believe this has escaladed to three trucks in less than 1 year. I may have to change my member name,lol. (not really)

I just moved this one out of found on so it would have a new home.  If you rather have them together I can merge them, but you can keep adding to this if you like.  Pretty cool since you got the pics from the craigslist ad...  Just let me know.

I don't think he will, but he can tell you for sure.  It has "The Boss" emblems on the extended cab just under the windows as well.  It also has one on the center console.

Yeah, we're not really sure just yet. The whole truck is going to be black, and the polished brass that the emblems are made of may really stand out on the truck. Will probably mock them up when the time comes and see how it looks. May just put the one on the tailgate, and take them off the sides. I dont know. Opinions are more than welcome on this truck. In fact, opinions are welcome on all of them. I just want something that stands out in a crowd that is not the same as everyone else. I just have to get one of them out there before Hills Hot Rods gets theirs out so I wont be accused of copying them.

Chopper, those are some neat trucks.  I don't believe I've ever seen one in the Carolinas.  Must be a Texas tree that they grow on!

Thanks, everyone I have found so far was made in Arlington,Tx so I guess it is a Texas thing. We just are not satisfied with stock trucks. ;D

I am working on that. I have a friend that has one under construction. Its frame is stretched, 3/4 ton axles, and a 8ft dually bed with 39's. He's looking for 44's, but hasnt got them yet. I will try to have pics of it to post tomorrow since I iwll be over there. Dont really like the dually bed on it, but it doesnt look too bad.

It will probably look like a limo for sure after we paint it black.
