irish.spy Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Well this is my new project its a 77' Single Cab Flat bed Dually, been after this truck for 10 years! The old guy who bought it new finally sold it to me. So far I've lowered it and put a weber on further plans are air ride only missing a few more parts then on to the bagging >=) Pics to come when I get home When I plucked her out of the old guys yard After washing, puting some parts back on, and getting it to run waiting to get tires to put the dually adapters back on and new disks to cut openings to lower the back as far as I want =) 1 Quote Link to comment

irish.spy Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Haha.......Whats up Brandon? So truck update the automatic is completely removed and gone now and 5 speed is all in and hooked up still waiting on new slave cylinder to get here woohoo....just curious about the rear gears. Seeing as truck was a auto and now a Manual is the truck gonna be sluggish or will it actually have some get up and go? Quote Link to comment
ryknot Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Unless they changed the gearing for duallys, in 77' your rearend would be the same weather it is a 4,5 speed or auto - 4.375. Here is Bleach's specs on trans and rear end ratios: http://www.bleachgarage.com/620tech.html Very cool truck! I digging your plans for it. Quote Link to comment

irish.spy Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 MoparVwFreak- Sorry I put them on Craigslist and someone from Tacoma came and scooped them up for free. Minor Truck update- Made a new shifter, install a hoodscoop, welded up some holes to start shaving random stuff/rust repair, installed my new slave cylinder, and got it running again Quote Link to comment
