Got the truck given to me a month ago, it's a 90 dually with a TBI 350 that's propane. Well I removed the propane system, and right around that time I lost my parking spot for with Jeep with a brand new 400 in it. So, like any normal person I pulled the 400 out sold the Jeep, and am in the process of putting it in the dually. Motor is bored .30 with some more technical stuff I don't remember pushing right around 425HP.

The Truck:

Pulling the Propane system:

The Engine going in:

And just for gits and shiggles the Jeep it came out of:

Sure looks cold up there. I might be going to ski at Kimberly spring break. Looks like good snow this year.

nice truck are you planning on keeping the flat bed or using a reguar dually bed?

Black 'n' Blue · 01-18-2013, 10:23 PM

Keeping the flat deck and dump mechs. I still plan on using this truck like its a truck. It has the 15,000 rear springs and airbags up front so I need a motor that can match the weight it can handle.

Unbolted the Torque Converter today, there was only 3 bolts, is that normal? I always thought there'd be more.

Was 8F here today so I didn't get too much done, but I managed to get the corner posts cut off took about 20 minutes 3 cutting discs and thankfully no damaged paint.

Took 7 hours, but in my defense I had no help. Just me, but I'm like six people so...

Someone bag drove this thing and now it look as though I need a new tranny. Ohwell I wanted something that matched to 400 anyway.

Which wheels do y'all think I should go with? The look I'm going for it
an expensive ratty rod. Which leads me to the only aftermarket wheels I like for the duallys, the rockstars. Or, do I stick with painted stockers?
