Hi guys new to the truck/dually sene... duno where to start on this project.... might do what i did with my last one just collect laot of stuff anf put it together when i have a nice collection of parts?

About the truck:
1984
3+3

long box
dually.

with a 350 SBC and a 400 turbo trans rear gearing (unknown)

so far its got:
dual CB antenas on the mirrors
CB
cab visor
Edelbrock intake
edelbrock chrome air breather
captin chairs in the front

Needs:
Pass and driver floors done
box "ribs" done
A comlete rewire... stupid person must have fucked with the wireing... the washer motor has a double power going to it? WTF!
and the list goes on... but it's going to be a fun and interesting project.

mods/wants:
Drop kit slamed with out bags (bags dont last long in canada in the winters....)
re paint back to factory (hugger orange)
tint
91 burban front end
nice wheels
and black interior blue just don't cut it for me....

Easiest route is to get a Painless wiring kit for your truck. We just installed one about a month ago. It took about 2 hours for the complete install from taillights to headlights and everything in between.
