Marty,

I think I caught a picture shortly after yours that shows one of the final touches. I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to have a dually without these - right? They have a custom mount that raises them up as the truck gets lower - don't want them to drag!



It gives it that nice classy touch that I think Travis was going for

I couldn't resist - what else would I spend the remaining few minutes of my lunch hour doing! Gotta love photoshop! I can't remember the last time I used it for something serious, but it's great for jokes!

I got $20 that says it won't make it up the boat ramp.

Very nice!! I too have a dually for a shop truck. It's lowered, red and black two toned, foose 16's, etc. One thing that's bugged me is that body line that you corrected right behind the rear doors. I have been thinking of bagging the truck, again, just the right way this time. The previous owner took all but one leaf out and bagged on that! I love what you've done!! You give me drive to do this, thanks. Also, have you machined the alcoas or found tires to fit? Also, how much for tires round about? Are there 2 wheels per side in the back? One or 2 pics made it look like you only run the outside wheels. Ok, once again, killer!!

You'd be surprised what these trucks can handle...

it will have plenty of power to pull it , but it wont have enough traction . my 05 f350 2wd 6.0l dually will not get my boat up the ramp , it just spins the rear .
