I'm fired up just from looking at the pics. Great work Josh. I think single stack short and black sitting in the center of those bars would look tits. Just my opinion :thumb:

Who done the rear glass

The body shop that did the work to make it a regular cab cut the shape, and the chassis guy made the holes for the bars to go through. We glued it in place after we painted the cage.

I didn't realize that was the same truck? i figured he bought a regular cab and put his motor in it. Did you cut the frame down too, or put his body on a reg cab frame?

He bought a cab and frame and moved his suspension, drivetrain, doors, bed, front clip, wiring, etc. to the new stuff (or had it done actually). The guy who built the lowered black dually was the guy who did the work moving everything.

Well, the truck is ready to race this evening. We reweighed it after pulling a few things out, and the race weight with the driver is 6070 lbs. I'll make sure to post up some results. I don't know how hard he's going to push it tonight; he's mainly making licensing passes. It's also just an 1/8 mile track. We'll try to get it on a 1/4 soon.

Well, as is the case with any new build, we ran into a few hiccups along the way, but the truck ran a best of 6.63 @ 109 MPH. Still a little ways to go, but it shows promise.
