im new to this site .... i recently got a truck i been wanting for a good 8 years or so... its gonna be my tow pig for all other toys... its a 86 crew cab dually texas hauler .. it needs alot of work but im cool with it

looks like i got on this site a little to late.... doesnt seem to have the traffic it used to ? most post and builds are old.....? still a very good site good to see somthing strickly for the duallys

Welcome
no there arnt alot of activity on this board might be worth checking out 67-72chevytrucks.com or 73-87chevytrucks.com
Very nice Western Hauler Crew Cab got any interior shots?

i got it gutted out right now ....heres a pic of the 24" pete's i got going on it ... i put shackles in the back yesterday and western chassis 3" spindles on the front

Nice progress

nice little project for a tow pig... there is still alot of us on here but just dont post as much anymore because we are upset bout havin to LOG in every time we come to our favorite site....

i was wondering why i had to log in every time....as far as interior i think im going to put a 64 interior and dash in it to match my 64 impala im going to paint it black....the truck anit low enough for me so i think im going to bag and 4 link and panhard it ...here my 64 impala its getting a make over now this is a old pic

finally put a rim on to see clearance .... it is off that jack .. it has a 1/2 between the tire and the well .. im going to chop up the well raise it and extended it . i put both sides new rockers and cab corners i probly could of patched it but i figured cut it all out so i could clean and coat the insides.... does any one kno if im going to run into problems with the front wheel? sticking out ? turning ? will i have to trash the inner wells?.....

im a chevy only type ... but this is my only exception and is my first car that is not a gm.. its a 79 lincon mark v collector series super rare car actually only 197 made

I demand updated pics!!! I noticed you got the semi's bolted on in your new avatar.

lol i havent done much just collecting parts it pretty much has been a lawn jocky lol .. i scored some mint suburban doors this weekend...im going to cut up the rear wheel wells and move em up so i can lower the rear more ..as it sits now its a inch from rubbing and it anit low enough for me ... im going to bag and par. link with watts or wish not sure yet

I like it, looks tough. Anymore pics? Are those the 295/35-24's on there? Are you running teenagers at the inner rear? If so what size? The suspension consists of 3" spindles and 2" shackles at the moment, correct?

yeah there 295-35's the rear does have teenagers (not sure the size) but the other 2 are getting cut now ... i might put the fronts to the rear and get some 30 series for the front .... yeah the front is 3" the rear is 2" shackles and the loader and the bottom thick spacer leaf ... i was going to get the front hangers 2" or a flip but figured id go straight to linking it and big bags...worst part about it is the hauler bed and how it mounts ..gets in the way of things

oh and the face's of the rears are machined
i wanted to do the c&c rear like yours but there hard to find over here
i had to drive amost over 250 miles to get those door.(these squarebodys are extinct over here)

Welcome to the site. Nice rides.

thanks!
