So can you tell me how to mill a semi wheel to fit my sick dually......


LOL. Just kidding. I have been lurking for a little while (hence the joke, please dont ban me.) decided to sign up. I am in the process of looking for a dually and may have found one but need some advice. Below is a description of what I have found, is it a decent buy?

89 Chevy Ext Cab Dually
454 (rebuilt 45k ago)
4spd manual tranny
needs paint bad!!!
cracked windshield (looks like baseball hit it)
dent in fender
rust in bed floor
cracks in borth fiberglass dually fenders
decent interior
bagged but no spindles up front and no notch in the rear so doesnt get very low.
All of the air bag equipment is brand-new
8 electronic valves
Upgraded Front and rear bags to support the heavy dually
High flow ¾ hp compressor
Upgraded 5-gallon reserve tank (ill include a 20 gallon tank aswell)
4 switches
4-zone gauge display
Wires, lines, fittings, and pressure safety switches, relays brackets…
The truck is setup with a brand new set of 4-link ladder bars with a pitman-arm.

balding tires all around
New Water Temp sensor
New Alternator
New Battery cables/terminals
New Yellow top deep cycle Jell Cell Optima Battery
New Clutch Master cylinder
New Clutch Slave cylinder
New Steering EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED pitman, inner/outer tie rods…
New Upper and Lower ball joints
New Plugs, Wires, Cap and Rotor.
New air filter
New Front and rear Shocks

He wanted 2900 but i have him down to 2250 w/o yellow top or 2400 with.

What do you all think? Hopefully I will soon join the community and have a ride to compare to all of the ridiculous rides on this site. Thanks again!!!

Welcome to the site. Sounds like a decent price for the truck.

Our painter here at the shop has an 88 that is lowered 6/8.5 here at the shop and he is asking around $4000 for it.

here is the link to the ad...

my concern is it will cost over 1k to get it road worth between tires, windshield and alignment.
