Hey everybody!

I'm Jason and I have a dually, finally! It's a little rough, but for $1200, I don't think I got hurt.

It's a 77 GMC Grande Sierra with a 454 and turbo 400. Factory A/C that still works and factory cruise that still works. Only 101,000 miles, and I'm the third owner.

I found it on Craigslist, listed under farm truck. The previous owner used it to pull a 32 foot trailer with two outlaw sprint cars. The original owner pulled a camper.

When I went to look at it, it was sitting on top of a hill, in a field, about a mile off of the nearest "improved" road in Highland County, VA.

She turned out to be solid, smooth, and everything you could want in a tow rig, so I gave the owner a wad of cash, called the insurance company, turned the old tags over, wrote farm use on them with a marker :wink: , and drove her 65 miles home!

Now what? Who knows? Definately going to lower the "bus". After that, maybe some paint, stereo, 8-71 blower...

Don't have many pics of it. I'll get some more soon.

By the way, the Ford dually is for sale. 460, 5 speed. Power everything. Needs a little work, but a solid truck.
