I just purchased a 03 2wd dually. I'm going to gut this turd "and i mean everything" and see just how fast a stock truck will go! It has 296k and it told me"spray me,spray me" So what could a guy do? It's a $3500.00 experment. Will be selling the rear end and putting a 6 litre rear in it. Jeff

I always have more fun with junk! The guy just dropped it off. Not very good pictures but here's something. It has a steel flat bed but the owner gets it back. I think with no int., gasser rear end, everything not important gone I think this thing will fly! It needs a water pump which is why the guy sold it but other than that it seems to run pretty good. Anyone need any parts? If it doesn't need it to run it's for sale. It does have factory dual tanks both full of fuel. Anyone need any diesel? lol Jeff

What's the advantage of using the smaller rear end Jeff?:confused:

I'm not sure it will have a bed at all. If I find a cheap one I mite do like Trent and put one on it. I reason for the 6 litre rear is it's about a 100 lbs liter and still plenty strong enough for drag racing. I may put a littler rear in the race truck also. You can also get away with 15" rims a little easier.

Sweet find Jeff! Im jelous!

I might be intrested in some parts too.

If It has heated/turn indicator mirrors, I need a pass. side one (maybe just the glass)

If you strip off frontend parts, like the bumper, brackets, valance's, filler panel, that kinda stuff, let me know!:thumb:
