New From the Frozen North...
« on: January 23, 2009, 04:34:37 pm »
Hey guys, stumbled across this site looking for 73-87 info. I saw the dually love here, and hope to do alot of reading about what's been done. I'm no stranger to the trucks, built and wrecked a few of em, but they're so dang reliable and bullet proof.

The old girl I found was an 83 CC dually, former 6.2, now swapped to a big block and 4L80E. It works good for what I need it to right now, but i'd like to get it back in good shape before it gets really bad. Any other canucks here? Talk to you guys later...  Colin

Welcome to the family from New Hampshaa!
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs
